Ancon has again been honoured at a Royal Reception following the company’s second Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
The reception, on Tuesday 14th July 2015, was hosted by Her Majesty The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh. Other members of the Royal Family in attendance included, The Duke of York, Princess Eugenie of York and The Princess Royal, underlining the importance attached to these prestigious industry awards.
Ancon’s Managing Director, Stuart Maxwell, and Marketing Manager, Annabelle Wilson, attended the reception with representatives from other award-winning companies held in the state rooms of Buckingham Palace.
Ancon’s success in the 2015 Awards comes in recognition of its International Trade and acknowledges the company’s achievements in growing sales across export markets. It follows success in 2012, when the company was received a Queen’s Award in Innovation for the development and commercialisation of a Lockable Dowel.
Stuart Maxwell said, “The Queen’s Award Reception is a unique event. For Ancon to attend a second Reception in just three years is a huge achievement for everyone at the company. It says a great deal about the company’s strategy and our increasing stature in international markets.”
An engraved crystal bowl and ceremonial scroll will take pride of place in Ancon’s Sheffield Head Office with the 2012 Queen’s Award.
