Integra ended 2007 on a high note as Managing Director Gary Parker won the coveted title of Young Businessperson of the Year at the prestigious annual Hull and East Riding Mail Business Awards.
 
Gary fought off tough competition from other top companies around the region to gain the title at a high profile ceremony at the Willerby Hotel, in East Yorkshire. The dinner was attended by more than 400 business people and companies from around the region.
 
Winning the Gosschalks Solicitors-sponsored Young Businessperson of the Year is another high voltage surge for Integra Buildings co-founder Gary Parker.
 
Ten years ago, he was a self-employed electrician who launched into manufacturing with his school-friend Paul Tansey.
 
Gary said: "I am thrilled to have won Young Businessperson of the Year 2007, it really is the icing on the cake to a fantastic year for Integra Buildings. For myself and the company to be recognised in such a way is true testament to the committed and first class work we all are doing at Integra.

"2007 has seen a very busy time for the Integra brand. Integra Buildings has gone from strength to strength, most notably we successfully competed a £1 million contract with the Ministry of Defence to provide housing at RAF Odiham in Hampshire in August.


"We have also expanded into Integra AV - producing our own steel secure anti-vandal units. We have invested £1 million in a new manufacturing site in Paull, near to our head offices in Burstwick - creating a further 25 jobs for the local workforce and giving us a much greater manufacturing capability.


"The investment is the result of a lot of forward planning for the company and shows our continued growth and commitment to invest in the local economy and meets our business desire to drive forward the Integra brand.


"This award is true recognition of the hard work the whole team at Integra has put into the business, which is why I see this award not purely just for me but for the whole company.”
