Rochdale-based Holroyd Precision Ltd has won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, the UK’s highest accolade for business success.

Holroyd received the award for International Trade, having achieved year-on-year growth in exports. It was given in recognition of the company’s achievements in developing new markets globally, creating new machine tool technologies with particular focus on those markets, and for Holroyd’s considerable successes in exporting its highly specialised grinding and milling machines to organisations around the world. Over the last few months alone, Holroyd has secured export orders worth in excess of £7 million.

“We are extremely proud and honoured to have won what is clearly the UK’s most prestigious business award,” comments Holroyd Precision’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Tony Bannan. “In securing the award, we were able to demonstrate significant growth in overseas trade, something that was achieved in spite of challenging global trading conditions.

"I would like to thank our staff here in Rochdale and our various support teams globally for the hard work and dedication that has made winning the Queen’s Award possible.”

2015 marks the 50th anniversary of the Queen’s Awards. Holroyd therefore joins an elite group of companies that have been recognised as deserving winners in what is a particularly significant year.
