On Thursday 21^st March, the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce held their annual business awards and 2^nd generation family business, Bedfont®, was named Exporter of the Year for the 3^rd year in a row.

The awards, now in its 13^th year, celebrates the excellent abundance of businesses in the county of Kent.

Bedfont®, based in Harrietsham, specialises in the design and manufacture of breath analysis medical devices.  Its range of carbon monoxide (CO) monitors include the Smokerlyzer®, used for smoking cessation, and the ToxCO®, used by emergency services, to screen for CO poisoning. The NObreath® FeNO monitor provides accurate analysis of airway inflammation to aid in the diagnosis and management of asthma, and the Gastrolyzer® range aids in the detection of gastrointestinal disorders and food intolerances.

Despite being a small family business with only 43 employees, Bedfont®’s medical analysers can be found worldwide, with export sales accounting for 80% of turnover, thanks to continuous innovation from the Bedfont® family and its network of carefully selected distributors, Bedfont®’s extended family.
