Arundel, England, 11 September 2009. Sprint Electric Ltd., manufacturer of DC drives, received a Royal visitor on 9 September when Prince Edward, The Duke of Kent, came to the company's premises in Ford near Arundel, West Sussex, to present the firm with a Queen's Award for Enterprise for its outstanding business success.
Sprint Electric won the Queen's Award in the International Trade category in April this year. A special reception for the Queen's Award winners was held in Buckingham Palace on 13 July, hosted by Her Majesty The Queen and other members of the Royal Family.
At the presentation ceremony, Sprint Electric was presented with a crystal bowl engraved with The Queen's Awards Emblem as a symbol of its success as well as a grant of appointment. The company is now also entitled to use the Emblem in all its marketing and on packaging for the next five years, here and abroad.
Sprint Electric designs and manufactures industrial motor controllers, specialising in DC drive technology. With an export share of approximately 75 percent, the products are sold worldwide. Sprint Electric's Managing Director Edwin Prescott explains, "The Queen's Award for International Trade is a result of our sustained export growth measured over the last six years. We are planning for further growth and are confident of enjoying continued success over the next six years and beyond." Sales Director Gary Keen continues, "Our success also owes a great deal to our overseas distributors. Every distributor is offered full training at our offices, so they can support our DC drives in any industrial application. Because we design and build the complete range of products at our Arundel site, we can be very responsive to our customers. Being able to ship our DC drives immediately means our customers receive their orders quickly - regardless of where they are in the world."
