Marshall presented with Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2016

Homeland October 3, 2016

Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group has been presented with the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2016 in the International Trade category by Sir Hugh Duberly, Lord-Lieutenant of Cambridgeshire.

The award recognises how, over the course of three consecutive financial years, Marshall saw an increase of almost 70% in its international trade. During this three-year period, more than half of Marshall’s exports were engineering and support services to airframe Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), governments, air forces and commercial operators.

Of particular note, in 2014 Marshall completed a complex, time-sensitive two-aircraft cabin upgrade programme for TAP, Portugal’s leading airline. Also contributing to international sales was, and continues to be, the manufacture of fuel tanks for the Boeing P-8 maritime patrol aircraft, for which the OEM presented Marshall with a ‘Supplier of the Year’ award in 2014.

Steve Fitz-Gerald, CEO of Marshall Aerospace and Defence Group, said: “It is a great honour to have won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise. It is the most respected of all business awards, and to be recognised for our role in the export of the UK’s engineering capabilities, in both commercial and military sectors, is an immense boost to the men and women of our company. Marshall has built an enviable reputation the world over, and we are keen to do our part to strengthen the UK’s Prosperity Agenda.”
