27th June 2023 was a red letter day for the team at Feritech Global.
Following the announcement in April that Feritech was to receive a King’s Award for Enterprise for their outstanding success in international trade, Rob Ferris was invited to attend a special awards dinner hosted at Buckingham Palace.
Instituted by Royal Warrant in 1965, The King’s Award for Enterprise (formerly known as the Queen’s Award for Enterprise) is the most prestigious business awards scheme in the United Kingdom, with recipients recognised as being among the best of British businesses. The awards celebrate outstanding achievements by UK firms in the categories of innovation, international trade, sustainable development and promoting opportunity through social mobility.
Joined by The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, The King personally welcomed recipients of The King’s Award for Enterprise to the palace. During the reception, His Majesty met a diverse group of winners from across the United Kingdom, many of whom are leaders in their fields.
Commenting on the event, Rob Ferris said:
“This was a huge honour for our business and the culmination of years of hard work by our brilliant team. It is great that The King’s Award scheme provides such excellent support to British businesses.
“To be recognised in this way as one of the top businesses in the country, and to be at Buckingham Palace for such a dazzling event, made me realise just how far we have come in the relatively short time since Gemma and I founded the business. We already trade in more than 40 countries, with plans to expand this even further in the coming 12 months.
“With our new Innovation Centre now well established, and with the talented people we have working for us, I firmly believe that the next five years will be an even more exciting period for our business.”
