Specialist data Collection Company Systematics International Limited is celebrating after being shortlisted in two categories at this year’s Basildon Business Awards.

The firm, which is based in Battlesbridge, Essex, has been named as a finalist in the Business 2 Business category, while Chief Executive Christine Bhatt has been shortlisted for the Businesswoman of the Year category.

Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony taking place at Basildon’s Towngate Theatre on 12 July.

Christine said: “We are absolutely delighted to have been shortlisted in two categories at the Basildon Business Awards. At Systematics, we place a great deal of emphasis on delivering high levels of service to all our clients, so it is pleasing to see this hard work recognised in this way.”

Systematics collects market data for manufacturers of agricultural, construction, material handling and mobile crane equipment all over the world, with high profile clients including New Holland, Case IH, and Same Deutz Fahr.

Systematics is run by Christine and her husband, Manuel, who is the firm’s Chief Finance and Strategic Planning Officer. The company, which specialised in processing UK agricultural registration data, can trace its roots back to 1972, with Christine joining as Business Development Manager in 2000, being promoted to Managing Director three years later. Christine led a successful management buyout of Systematics in 2007, when its parent company, Metal Bulletin (MB) Group, was taken over by an international publishing group which wanted to focus on different core business activities.
