Printers recognised in business awards

The printing sector has again received recognition in the annual Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

This year sees 119 busi­ness awards handed out - 71 for international trade, 40 for innovation, and eight for sustainable de­velopment. Winning com­panies come from a vari­ety of business sectors, and range in size from businesses with three em­ployees to an international firm with around 68.000 employees.

Amongst the winners from the printing and pub­lishing sectors are paint colour cards supplier, Tay­lor Bloxham; environmen­tally-friendly print com­pany, Seacourt; publisher, Felix Rosenstiel’s Widow & Son; the inventors of a family of security card printers, Ultra Electronics Manufacturing & Card Systems, and specialist publisher Witherbys.

A representative from each winning company has been invited to attend a reception in London with HRH The Duke of York, whilst the actual presentation of each com­pany’s award will take place by a Queen’s representative later in the year at the workplace. Winning firms receive extensive publicity and the chance to use the Queen’s Award Emblem in all marketing for five years. Represen­tatives from each com­pany are also invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace in the summer.

Richard Lambert, Di­rector-General of the CBI, says: “Winning a Queen’s Award for Enterprise is a tremendous achievement and this year’s winners are very worthy recipients that reflect the strength and diversity of UK plc.”
