The team at NX are celebrating a major win on home turf after securing two Gold Awards at the 2025 SME Northamptonshire Business Awards.
The NX group was named as the gold winners in both the Daventry Business of the Year and Employer of the Year categories.
Showcasing Business Excellence
Held annually to recognise the achievements of small and medium-sized enterprises across the county, the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards celebrate excellence in innovation, service, and commitment to local communities. This marks the second consecutive year we have been recognised, following a 2024 gold award for Family Business of the Year and silver for Daventry Business of the Year.
As a result of this year’s double gold success, we have now been named a finalist for the national SME Business Awards, which will take place in London later this year.
Neil Powell, Managing Director at The NX Group, said: “We’re incredibly proud to be recognised in our hometown as both a top employer and an outstanding local business.”
Over the past year, The NX Group has continued to grow despite widespread industry challenges affecting logistics firms across the UK. From rising operational costs and increased National Insurance payments to post-Brexit labour shortages and recruitment challenges, the sector has faced mounting pressure. Yet The NX Group has achieved a growth in turnover, added clients and expanded its fleet.
Perhaps most notably for the local community, the business has created 20 new jobs for residents from Daventry and the surrounding areas, strengthening its role as a key local employer.
“Our ability to adapt, stay flexible, and deliver a consistently secure and high-quality logistics service has allowed us to keep up with the changing industry challenges and in turn grow our business,” continued Mr Powell. “These awards are a reflection of our team’s unwavering commitment and our strong ties to the local community. We’re proud to continue investing in Daventry, creating jobs, and contributing to the local economy.”
Celebrating Local Enterprise
This is the eighth year of the SME Northamptonshire Business Awards, who aim to raise the profile of industrious, hardworking and enterprising SME’s locally. The awards are made up of 22 categories that allow successful local businesses across the UK to enter these prestigious awards. All entries are judged by up to four local judges.
Members of the NX team attended the Grand Celebration black tie evening, held at the Cinch Stadium at Franklins Gardens, Northampton, where the winners were announced and the awards were presented.
