+44 (0)191 236 0960enquiries@d-line-it.com WIN INNOVATION AWARD D-Line strives for its ‘blend in’ cable management products not to be noticed, so there is a certain irony that the North Shields based company is standing out for a different reason! Last year D-Line’s export achievements, after six years of exceptional sales growth from more than thirty countries, were recognised by its first Queens Award for Enterprise. And sales have continued to rocket, up sixty-five per cent during last twelve months, as customers have increasingly sought out D-Line innovations to make their cable challenges seemingly disappear. Since launch in 2006, now D-Line has a workforce of one hundred plus, and a £25m annual turnover in range. Capacity has recently been increased with the addition of 50,000 sq ft of extra facilities locally, plus new 35,000 sq ft for its USA subsidiary in Kentucky, and new warehousing in Holland to service EU demands. Clearly D-Line’s success has many elements, but it is the company’s commitment to continuous innovation which has given this year its first Queen’s Award for Innovation. Explained founder Paul Ruddick ‘Innovation drives our business, making every day different and hugely motivating as we explore ways to provide solutions that have never been tried before. And in our niche, for our customers, whatever we offer must be far better than any alternative ways’ Now twenty-six patents support D-Line’s product portfolio — which includes decorative cable covers and trunking systems; cable supports to help save lives in fire conditions; cable clips for electric vehicle charge points; with a new Cable Shelf being another example of D-Line giving a unique solution for a common need. D-Line respect that the Queen’s Award for Innovation has a most demanding qualifying criteria, with the company’s ingenuity acknowledged by keeping to its original ethos that all products must be ‘easy to use, look great!’ As Paul commented ‘D-Line’s design focus is about making our innovations appear very simple. That is the challenge, but it’s what makes D-Line products so popular. To receive this Queen’s Award is a great testament to the creativity and skills of staff across our business. By innovating we are keeping a step or two ahead’ With a constantly evolving pipeline of new product ideas it is easy to appreciate D-Line’s excitement for future prospects!
