Nicolas Roe, Joint Managing Director (centre), Nicholas Edgar, Marketing Director (right), and Deborah Green, Distribution Manager (left), were honoured to be invited to Buckingham Palace on 18 July to be presented to Her Majesty The Queen and the HRH Duke of Edinburgh in recognition of the granting to Rosenstiel’s in 2007 of the company’s second Queen’s Award for Export Achievement

The Award was granted in acknowledgment of the company’s remarkable international sales over the last six years and Rosenstiel’s is one of few companies to have received a second award in this way, having previously won a Queen’s Award for Export Achievement in 1993.

The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the United Kingdom’s most prestigious awards for business performance. The Awards are granted by the Queen on the recommendation of the Prime Minister and are presented in three categories: International Trade, Innovation, and Sustainable Development. The citation for Rosenstiel’s from the Queen’s Award particularly refers to the company’s success in the expansion of its business over the last six years in the challenging and competitive American marketplace.

Nicolas Roe, the company’s Joint Managing Director, commented: “It was a memorable day, and a wonderful recognition of both the work of the whole team at Rosenstiel’s and the loyalty of our customers in today’s competitive global business. The trade has changed so rapidly over the last few years and we have had to adapt very quickly to stay with it. The presentation at Buckingham Palace was a real honour and a wonderful cap to a very successful period for the whole team.”

The company will be holding a celebration dinner for all staff at the end of the year.
