The Duke of Gloucester has presented a Queen’s Award to JCB in recognition of its export achievement. The award – in the International Trade category – was presented to Matthew Taylor, JCB’s group CEO, at a ceremony at the World Parts Centre. Many of the employees who contributed to the success attended the ceremony.
HM Lord Lieutenant for Staffordshire, James Hawley, told the gathering, "in recent years, awards for export achievement have declined and this makes today’s award even more special. It shows the enormous commitment that JCB have to supporting their customers all over the globe.
"Unlike personal honours, the Queen’s Awards are given to the company as a whole and, therefore, to all employees working as a team. You have all played your part and I hope that you all feel proud of your achievement and that your company will continue to prosper in the future."
Taylor says JCB Service is proud to have been chosen for this Queen’s Award, which is the 23rd for the JCB Group. (See: Forkliftaction.com News #377).  Team Leader Tony Barker with The Duke |
