Major award for UK's Gill Instruments
Gill Instruments, a leading designer and manufacturer of meteorological measurement equipment, has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade for Outstanding Short Term Growth
You may not need a weather man to know which way the wind blows....but many industries and research stations rely on having real-time accurate wind speed information and other meteorological data. Gill Instruments designs and manufactures vital equipment for customers including those who monitor around the clock the magnificent Severn Bridge
Gill Instruments is one of just 197 organisations nationwide to receive this year’s honour, recognising the company’s exceptional contribution to international trade in its field.
Founded in 1985 in the town of Lymington, Gill Instruments began as an innovative engineering company specialising in ultrasonic air flow measurement. Today, it supplies advanced ultrasonic wind sensors and weather stations to customers in over 73 countries, serving a variety of applications and markets including meteorology, process control, utilities, agriculture, marine and transport.
Alan Brooke, Gill's CEO, says the award is highly motivating: 'This recognition comes at a particularly significant time as we celebrate 40 years in the business. It's testament to the dedication of our team and our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality products and services to our customers around the world. We have grown from a family business into a global organisation, but our core values remain unchanged.'
Now in its 59th year, the Enterprise Awards programme is the most prestigious business recognition in the UK, and celebrates the success of innovative businesses leading the way with pioneering products/ services across International Trade, Innovation, Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility). Winners will be invited to a reception at Windsor Castle and will be entitled to use the King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.
