REALsafe REALRIDER wins yet another award!

REALsafe Technologies Limited in Durham has won the national Grand Prix prize in the GREAT Faces of British Business competition. The Business is GREAT Britain campaign launched the competition in November 2014, in association with BT Business, to find the most innovative and exciting UK businesses.

Durham-based REALsafe Technologies is a start-up business that launched a revolutionary safety-based app for motorcyclists in February 2013. The REALRIDER app lets motorcyclists track rides, record points of interest, and keeps them safe when they ride alone. It can automatically detect if a rider has had a crash and contacts the Emergency Service with their last known location and medical details.

REALsafe Technologies stood out to the judges as a classic business success story. The national judges commented that “it is a fantastically simple, yet innovative product that could save lives, and that now the only way is up for the business.”

Zoe Farrington, Managing Director at REALSafe® Technologies said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to have been crowned the national winner of the GREAT Faces of British Business competition. Winning this award truly sets us apart from the competition in our field, and we hope we will inspire other small businesses everywhere to foster their success. We would strongly recommend any small business owner to visit www.greatbusiness.gov.uk to access the wealth of support and advice available from the Government to help your company grow.”
