Mark Tibbenham, Managing Director of GJD

GJD has been awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise for International Trade, the UK’s highest accolade for international business success.

Her Majesty the Queen has approved the Prime Minister’s recommendation for GJD to be honoured with this award owing to the company’s significant growth and success in export trade over the past six years.

The Lord-Lieutenant of the County, The Queen’s local representative will visit GJD’s premises in Heywood, Greater Manchester later in the year to present this award. Two representatives from GJD will also attend a reception at the Palace later in the year.

Mark Tibbenham, managing director of GJD, commented: “This is a fantastic achievement for everyone at GJD, especially in this historic year as Her Majesty The Queen celebrates the sapphire anniversary of her reign. We all feel very humbled and immensely proud to have won a Queen's Award for Enterprise in International Trade. It is amazing recognition and high praise for everyone at GJD who always put in so much hard work and dedication to make GJD what it is today."

GJD designs and manufactures security solutions which rapidly identify and validate genuine alerts, identify false alarm signals and optimise the call out of responders.

Winning a Queen's Award means that GJD can inscribe the Queen's Award Emblem on letters, advertising, marketing or packaging for five years.
