Cash-handling equipment supplier Innovative Technology was named winner of a Queen’s Award for Enterprise, the U.K.’s highest accolade for business success.
“The Queen’s Awards are one of the most prestigious business accolades in the U.K., and are only awarded to companies demonstrating the highest level of excellence,” said Innovative Managing Director Aidan Towey. “We are honored to receive the award for International Trade. This is actually the third Queen’s Award in the Company’s history, having previously won in 1997 and 1999. The award this year is extra special, after having been named last week as the 13th fastest growing private company in Britain in the Sunday Times Profit Track 100.”
Approximately 160 Queen’s Awards have been announced this year for outstanding business achievement in the fields of International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development. A Queen’s Award winner Innovative Technology can expect an invitation to attend a special reception at Buckingham Palace with the Queen later this year.
“This is a very exciting time for Innovative Technology,” Towey said. “As a company we are going from strength to strength. After a year of unparalleled success, for every aspect of the business in 2013, we are currently in the process of building a new state-of-the-art office facility at our U.K. head office and will create up to 30 new positions this year.”
