King’s Award for enterprising Williams Jet Tenders
Williams Jet Tenders has been presented with a King’s Award for Enterprise, in the International Trade category.
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, considered a prestigious accolade for businesses in sectors such as innovation and international trade, recognise achievements that reflect the highest standards of enterprise and ethical business practice. The awards, instituted by Royal Warrant in 1965, serve as a mark of distinction for organisations driving progress and economic growth both domestically and internationally.
Williams Jet Tenders is one of only 252 UK organisations to receive the King’s Award for Enterprise in 2024, in recognition of the company’s success in exporting jet tenders around the globe. This accolade underscores Williams Jet Tenders’ role in promoting British craftsmanship and innovation on an international scale, boosting the UK’s standing as a global hub for excellence in manufacturing and trade.
Following the award (which was presented by Marjorie Glasgow, His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, on 18 December 2024), the company’s co-founders John and Mathew Hornsby expressed their gratitude.
“It’s an incredible honour to have received the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade and today’s ceremony was a testament to the dedication of our entire team, whose expertise and passion bring British ingenuity to the forefront of the global marine industry. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary in 2024, this recognition inspires us to continue reaching new heights.”
Glasgow says that it was a great privilege to present the King’s Award for Enterprise to the marine company.
“Williams Jet Tenders has demonstrated extraordinary vision and dedication, not only in advancing the marine industry but also in championing British innovation on the international stage. Their success reflects the values and resilience that the King’s Awards celebrate—upholding excellence and driving economic growth through ethical enterprise. I congratulate Williams Jet Tenders and their entire team on this well-deserved honour.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed last year to honour His Majesty The King’s commitment to continuing the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II in recognising outstanding UK businesses. Now in its 58th year, the programme continues to celebrate businesses that represent the best of British enterprise.
The new application period for the King’s Award opens in May 2025.
