Warren J Smith Esq. JP, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, has presented Holroyd Precision Ltd with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise – the UK’s highest accolade for business success.

The presentation took place at Holroyd Precision’s Rochdale HQ  and was made in recognition of the company’s achievements in International Trade.

Holroyd Precision has achieved year-on-year growth in exports, developing new markets globally for its highly specialised grinding and milling machines and creating new machine tool technologies with particular focus on those markets. Over the last few months alone, the organisation has secured export orders worth in excess of £7 million.

Dr Tony Bannan, Holroyd Precision’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are extremely proud and honoured to have won what is clearly 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 has made winning the Queen’s Award possible.”

Holroyd Precision’s Queen’s Award for Enterprise was announced along with more than 100 other winners from across the UK on 21 April 2015 – the birthday of Her Majesty The Queen. On 14 July 2015, representatives from Holroyd Precision then attended a special reception at Buckingham Palace that was hosted by The Queen. The reception marked the 50th anniversary of the awards.
