Leicestershire point of sale company celebrates double awards win

Melita POS, a family-run business based in Leicestershire, has been crowned winners across two of the four categories they were finalists in, after entering the East Midlands Chamber Awards for the first time.

The achievement marks a significant milestone for the company, further highlighting its dedication to excellence and innovation within the industry.

Melita POS is a winner in the Outstanding Growth and Small Business of the Year categories. They were also finalists in the International Trade category, and MD Dan Jacques was a finalist for Leicestershire Entrepreneur of the Year.

Dan Jacques, Managing Director at Melita POS, said: “We are incredibly proud, and a little overwhelmed, to have won these awards. To be finalists in four categories in our first year of entering is an honour in itself, but to win and take home two awards is something else entirely.

“This recognition is a testament to our business, our values, and most importantly, the dedication and hard work of our amazing team. We could not have achieved any of this without them.”

Melita POS, headquartered at Leicester’s Meridian Business Park, has been a leader in end-to-end Point of Sale (POS) and merchandising solutions for over 25 years. The company, which unites the diverse services of design, manufacturing, warehousing, merchandising and installation under one brand, is the result of the amalgamation of Display Logistics, DL Manufacturing, and KK Installations.

Despite these changes, Melita POS remains a family-owned and operated business. This strategic move marks the beginning of a new chapter for Melita POS, with an ambitious program of investment and growth being spearheaded by new Managing Director, Dan Jacques, alongside Company Director, Emily Havard, Operations Director, Rich Metcalf, Production Director, Glynn Parker, and Warehouse Director, Mark Jacques.

Originally established as Display Logistics in 1997 by Shivena and Steve Jacques, today Melita POS employs 35 workers with a turnover of over £6 million and has ambitious plans for international growth, while maintaining a strong commitment to supporting the economic success of its hometown of Leicester.
