Fort Vale is thrilled to announce its receipt of a King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, a prestigious honour bestowed upon a select few national organisations. This marks the fifth time Fort Vale has been recognised with such a distinguished award, having previously received four Queen’s Awards since its establishment in 1967.
Employing a workforce of over 360 individuals, Fort Vale stands as the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of equipment dedicated to the safe transportation of bulk liquids, powders, and gases.
Graham Blanchard, Fort Vale’s global sales & marketing director, expressed pride in receiving the company’s inaugural King’s Award. He remarked on the significance of this achievement for a UK-based family-owned company, particularly one with deep roots in Lancashire. Blanchard attributed Fort Vale’s success over its 50-year history to the combination of hard work, dedication, and innovation, coupled with the company’s unwavering commitment to industry-leading safety, precision, and quality. He also extended gratitude to Fort Vale’s hardworking and dedicated employees for their contribution to this achievement.
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, formerly known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed last year to honour His Majesty The King’s desire to uphold the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by acknowledging outstanding UK businesses. Now in its 58th year, the Award programme stands as the most prestigious business accolade in the nation, granting successful businesses the privilege of utilising the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the ensuing five years.
