02 Nov 09. Innovation & Technology Award for Oxley. Oxley Developments won the prestigious 2009 Innovation and Technology Award at the CN Group Business Awards ceremony on Thursday October 22. The award was presented to Oxley Technical Director Darren Cavan and Business Development Manager Phil Robinson in recognition of the company’s success in remaining at the forefront of innovation and technology for over 60 years. The judges on the night praised Oxley as being ‘outstanding,’ and a clear winner in the category. The award is given to the company that has ‘developed the most innovative new product, system or process over the last year and can demonstrate the positive impact it has had on the business.’ The awards, the county’s most celebrated business event, aimed at recognising Cumbria’s business community and promoting the very best business practices, were a red carpet occasion, with a champagne reception and dinner before the award ceremony proper. Oxley Managing Director Peter Cotterill said: “It’s a great honour to win an award like this and it’s testament to the hard work and dedication of the many talented people within the company.” Guests were greeted by CN Group Managing Director Terry Hall, and the guest speaker was Shadow Scottish Secretary David Mundell MP.

The kink in this phosphor bronze miniature interconnect component was originally designed for “select on test” plated through hole PCB assembly but due to its unique shape it is now more commonly used as a compliant fit pin which eliminates the need for wave and selective soldering. The kinky pin offers a number of benefits said Oxley Business Manager Dave Howell. “Ease of assembly is always a big plus and kinky pins have a low insertion force, with an excellent retention mechanism which is more than sufficient in holding the pin perpendicular and securely in the board. This is critical for assembly of flexi circuits to rigid boards, as it allows the PCB
