EnviroSystems shortlisted for Women in Ag award
5th May 2025
EnviroSystems has been shortlisted for a string of national and regional business awards, recognising innovation and sustainability.
A specialist in animal bedding, teat care, and slurry inoculants, EnviroSystems has been shortlisted for prestigious national and regional awards.
Women in Ag
At the National Women in Agriculture Awards, the company is one of four finalists in the Business of the Year category.
Founded by Liz Russell in 2001, EnviroSystems has grown steadily over the past two decades, employing a diverse team with a strong contingent of women who continue to lead and drive the business forward.
EnviroSystems is best known for its award-winning EnviroBed product – a hygienic, sustainable bedding made from 100% recycled paper crumble.
Dried to 95% dry matter using renewable heat, EnviroBed provides dairy producers with an environmentally friendly, low-carbon alternative to traditional bedding.
The product’s innovation earned the business a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of its contribution to sustainable agriculture.
Family business awards
The company is also a finalist in three categories at the North West Family Business Awards 2025:
- Agri-Business of the Year
- The Green Award
- Manufacturing Excellence.
This year’s awards attracted a record number of entries, with judges praising the high calibre of submissions.
Sue Howorth, co-founder and director of The Family Business Community, said: “The quality of this year’s entries made the judges’ decisions extremely challenging. The finalists should be incredibly proud of their achievements.”
Liz Russell, founder of EnviroSystems, added: “It’s a real honour for our team to be recognised across so many award categories.
“From day one, we’ve been passionate about creating sustainable solutions that genuinely make a difference on farm, while building a business that values innovation, diversity and environmental responsibility.
“To be shortlisted alongside so many well-known companies is a proud moment for us all.”
The winners of both awards will be announced at ceremonies in London and Liverpool in early May (6th and 9th May).
