The five finalists for 2019 Arco Innovation Award have been announced, as decided by the judging panel.

Later this month, the finalists will have the opportunity to present their innovative solutions to a panel of expert judges in London. Afterwards, the judges and readers of SHP will vote on their favourite start-up. The winner will be featured in Arco’s product catalogue and on its website. It will also be supported by Arco’s specialist sales team, providing access to a potential customer base of 100,000 businesses across the UK.
Adam Young, Director of Marketing at Arco, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the forward-thinking and innovative technology that all these start-ups can offer the health and safety market. It has been incredibly difficult for us to narrow things down to merely five finalists from such an impressive list of entries, but we’re now very excited to progress on to the next stage.”
