Carl Hunter — CEO of London-based Coltraco Ultrasonics, which manufactures innovative ultrasonic technology for the maritime and naval sectors — has been recognised with a British Exporters Association (BExA) Lifetime Achievement Award for exceptional service to the UK exporting community.
UKEF CEO Louis Taylor, who presented the award at the BExA Annual Lunch in London last month, explained how Mr Hunter has successfully led his company in the past few years, noting also that “Carl’s contribution goes far beyond the success of his own business”.
Coltraco exports 89% of its output to 117 countries around the world (
