A MANUFACTURING company based near York has been listed on the Northern Tech 100 league table as one of the north’s 100 fastest-growing technology companies.

NiteSite is an award-winning company specialising in innovative infrared night-vision products that enable users to turn night into day at a distance of up to 500 metres.

The company, from Full Sutton, was started in 2011 by two brothers, Phil and Dave Craven, who created the first “heads up” infrared night vision systems from their homes. NiteSite now exports to over 60 countries across all seven continents and has 50 employees. The business has doubled turnover annually for the last four years and bosses believe it is poised to continue this success by its commitment to new product development and the people who make up the NiteSite extended family.

Last year it received a Queen’s Award for International Trade and gained the title of Exporter of the Year in The Press Business Awards.
