Awards success for Worthing business leader

A Worthing director has been named among the region’s top business leaders in the IoD London and the South Director of the Year Awards.

The awards, run by the Institute of Directors (IoD) and open to members and non-members, are sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and bring together company directors from a variety of backgrounds, recognising their qualities as business leaders.

Peter Webb, Managing Director of Electronic Temperature Instruments Ltd of Worthing, was named Director of the Year (Small Company).

Founded in 1983 by Peter and Miriam Webb, Electronic Temperature Instruments Ltd is a digital thermometer manufacturer, also producing catering thermometers, moisture meters, pressure meters and other related products.

Peter said: “I’m very happy to receive this award, for myself and my staff, it means a great deal to us all. It is a reflection of the hard work of the management team and the 160 employees.”

Rodger Broad, Director of the IoD South, said: “The standard set by all our finalists was exceptional, so for Peter to win is a tremendous achievement.

“He goes forward to the UK IoD awards in October where he will compete for the title of UK Director of the Year.”

Peter received his award on Wednesday, April 22, at the Institute of Directors in Pall Mall, London.
