To celebrate winning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2018, Hanningfield enjoyed a day out in London, visiting the London Eye, Buckingham Palace and Green Park before having lunch in Leicester Square.
Afterwards, Colin and James Ellis were invited to a Royal Reception at Buckingham Palace hosted by HRH The Prince of Wales.
We’re pleased to share some of the photos from our celebratory day in the gallery below.
The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the UK’s most prestigious business awards. It recognises a company’s contribution to UK exports but also looks at its role within the local community, environmental impact and the quality of its relationships with suppliers, partners, employees and customers.
The company has achieved outstanding growth in overseas sales, with exports representing a significant and ever-increasing proportion of company revenue. There has also been a significant rise in employee numbers at the UK factory, which has been necessary to fulfil increasing customer demand and ensure that high quality products continue to be delivered as the company grows.
Colin Ellis, founder and Managing Director at Hanningfield, said: “I am extremely proud of the team at Hanningfield. Hard work and supreme diligence has enabled the company to flourish on the international arena of commerce.
“The industry we are dedicated to supporting has extremely high standards of compliance and quality. Without the dedication and integrity of our workforce to produce excellence we would not be in a position to receive such a high accolade as the Queen’s Awards.”
