For the third time in six years, Avo Photonics was recognized by its parent organization (Halma, plc) as its “Company of the Year”. The first two times (2016 & 2020), these awards covered the entire 48 companies held by Halma (HLMA London). The award granted this year was for its Medical and Environmental & Analysis Sector consisting of 28 companies.
“Halma is listed within the FTSE 50 and is constantly recognized for its clear purpose, strong culture and exceptional financial performance. We just announced that Halma has realized record profit for the 18th consecutive year. Avo achieving the position of one of our top performing companies is a tremendous accomplishment. Doing it multiple times is really impressive,” said Dr. Tim Prestidge, Halma Divisional Chief Executive.
According to Dr. Joseph Dallas, Founder and President of Avo Photonics, “This month marks our 10th anniversary being a part of the Halma family of companies. Our current Board of Directors all were at Avo prior to the acquisition by Halma. The fact that we are all still here, enjoying our growth, customers, and each other, is testimony to Halma’s unique business model. Accountability is retained at the company level thereby promoting the original feelings of ownership, drive, diligence, and performance.”
