Domino Printing Sciences has been shortlisted in the Company of the Year category at the UK's forthcoming PLCAwards. Domino, which is based in Cambridge, the UK, offers product identification, traceability and digital printing services. Incorporated in 1978 and listed on the London Stock Exchange since 1984, Domino reported sales for the year to the end of October 2010 of £300 million, which represented a record growth of 17 per cent over the previous year's sales and the 32nd year of consecutive growth. Domino entered the FTSE 250 index in June 2008 and was admitted last year to the FTSE4Good Index Series, which measures the performance of companies that meet globally recognised corporate responsibility standards. Managing director, Nigel Bond (above), said the most recent financial results were all the more remarkable for having been achieved against the backdrop of a challenging global economy. "Domino responded to the recession by increasing our research and development spend to record levels - resulting in an exciting range of new products - and by deploying resources to ensure that we have emerged as a stronger and more effective business," he said. "This nomination is a tribute to the professionalism, dedicated endeavour and support of our 2,150 employees worldwide." The PLC Awards was founded in 1987 to reward excellence in the smaller quoted company sector. The winners are announced at the annual PLC Awards Dinner, which this year will be held on March 10.
