SIL win prestigious King’s Award for International Trade
Systems Interface Ltd. (SIL) has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, in recognition of its outstanding short-term growth in overseas sales over the last three years. Announced Monday 6 May 2024, SIL has been recognised for its excellence in International Trade and is one of 252 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise.
Established in 1982 and located in Bordon, Hampshire, SIL is a global Air Traffic Control (ATC) Systems Integrator encompassing the domains of communication, navigation, meteorology, ATC towers and design consultancy. SIL delivers turnkey aviation engineering projects to civil and defence airports worldwide and its footprint extends across 40+ countries, demonstrating its extensive installed base and global reach.
SILs revenues are distributed across its primary market regions: UK/Ireland, Europe/Central Asia, Africa/Middle East and Rest of World. Over a three-year period, overseas sales increased exceptionally and contributed to around 70% of all sales.
“I am immensely proud that this prestigious award has been bestowed upon Systems Interface. We trade in some of the most complex overseas markets where we have significantly grown our market share in recent years. The award reflects the huge effort made by every member of staff in the business who have all made significant contributions to building our business. In 2024 we are positioned for a further step increase in our order intake, we aim to continue this trend over the coming years,” says Andrew Madge, Managing Director, SIL
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed last year to reflect His Majesty the King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II, by recognising outstanding UK businesses.
The Award programme, now in its 58th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.
