The Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester presented Rochdale-based Holroyd Precision Ltd with its Queen’s Award at the end of last month.
The award was given in recognition of the company’s achievements in international trade. It has achieved year-on-year growth in exports, developed new global markets for its grinding and milling machines and created new machine-tool technologies. Over the last few months alone, the company has won export orders worth more than £7 million.
Tony Bannan, CEO of parent company Precison Technologies Group, said: “We are extremely proud to have won the UK’s most prestigious business award. 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 have made winning the Queen’s Award possible.”
Holroyd Precision’s Queen’s Award was announced, along with more than 100 others, back in April. In mid-July, representatives from the company attended a reception at Buckingham Palace — hosted by the Queen — to mark the 50th anniversary of the awards scheme.
