STEETON-based Acorn Stairlifts has won its second export award in as many months.

The company took the honours in the Made in Yorkshire Awards exports category.

And it was highly commended in the innovation and large company sections.

A presentation ceremony took place at the Royal Armouries, Leeds.

In October, Acorn scooped an export accolade in the Insider Growth 100 Awards.

Company secretary, Dave Belmont, said: "We are delighted to be recognised in the Made in Yorkshire Awards for our innovation as well as our export achievements.

"Our products are sent to more than 90 countries directly from our Yorkshire factories."

Acorn was formed in 1992 and now has more than 1,200 employees worldwide.

The value of its exports has soared from £31 million to £71 million in the past four years and over half its revenue now comes from outside the UK.
