Process filter manufacturer makes shortlist for international business award

8th October 2025

A Surrey manufacturer focused on market expansion in multiple sale territories worldwide has been shortlisted for a coveted business award.

Process filter maker Amazon Filters is a finalist in the category of International Business of the Year at the prestigious Surrey Business Awards 2025.

It comes as the Camberley-based supplier of filters, housings and solutions continues a global growth strategy across core customer industries.

They include municipal water, pharmaceuticals, energy and other sectors where robust and sustainable filtration processes are critical elements of production.

The 40-year-old firm’s award entry explained how its successful international distribution model coupled with direct supply from the UK is supporting customers throughout the world.

The strategy has led to export growth of more than 70% in the past five years, with international sales this year representing three-quarters of overall revenues.

Neil Pizzey, Amazon Filters Managing Director, said: “It’s both heartening and welcome to be an award finalist based on independent recognition of our approach and results.

“We continue to invest strategically in our future, completing infrastructure improvements and upgrading plant and machinery to increase our capacity and capability.

“These enhancements will position us well to scale our operations and resources even further in line with projected growth and emerging opportunities in our key target markets.

“As we look ahead, we will continue to support customers in markets around the world.”

International Business of the Year is one of 15 Surrey Business Award categories along with others including Customer Service, Innovation, Sustainability, Startups and Professional Services.

Neil added that Amazon Filters hopes to go ‘one better’ this year after being ‘highly commended’ as a finalist in the same category in 2024.

The Surrey Business Awards are run by Platinum Media Group in association with Surrey Chambers of Commerce.

“The standard of entries this year has been exceptional,” said organiser Maarten Hoffmann, Managing Director of Platinum Media Group. “We continue to be inspired by the innovation, resilience and ambition shown by businesses across the region. Being shortlisted is a significant achievement and we’re excited to celebrate the remarkable impact these businesses are making on the regional economy.”

The winners will be revealed at an awards ceremony at the G Live Centre in Guildford on Wednesday 12 November 2025.

"This was my 3rd year in succession of attending the BWiS IWD event and I'll keep coming back! The mutual support and advocacy was palpable as you walked into the reception area, and remained throughout the event. Rarely have I heard a panel more authentic and thought-provoking with their personal stories that frankly were at times tough to take in. The food was delicious and the company sparky.” Anne Schiettecatte, AMCS Performance Consulting Ltd

“Fantastic event- I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in which was so lovely considering I was the only one from my company and slightly worried about not being able to relate to all the big firms in the room! I felt accepted immediately and the atmosphere throughout the whole event was just lovely. Well done for getting together such an amazing panel- it was incredibly refreshing to have people speak so honestly about their work and why they do it. More than that it was infinitely inspiring and made me realise the power of female leadership to be able to balance compassion with strong will to get things done! Thank you once again- I'm sure everyone in the room felt it was an extremely valuable few hours spent away from their normal lives.”

The networking meetings are always professionally run and there are great opportunities to attend industry specific meetings offering advice, training and updates. I’m proud to be part of such a professional organisation.

"One of the standout aspects of my involvement has been the quality of guest speakers the Chambers bring in. For instance, I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Sven Hughes, CEO of Enigma Strategic Communications. His insights into strategic communications have been both enlightening and inspiring, offering new perspectives on how to approach challenges in my own field of communications. Another memorable Executive Roundtable event allowed me to meet Matt Letley, Co-Chair for B Lab’s "B Local Surrey" group, whose passion for fostering responsible business practices resonated with me and many others at the Roundtable. His guidance on how businesses can work towards certification while also strengthening community ties was invaluable. The Executive Roundtable has given me far more than just professional connections—it’s fostered a space where I can exchange ideas, discuss challenges, and celebrate successes with like-minded peers. Surrey Chambers of Commerce is a pivotal organisation in the local business ecosystem, and being a part of it continues to bring me both personal and professional growth."
