Queen's Award Delights Horizon

Horizon Global Electronics Ltd has just been awarded the coveted Queen’s Award for Enterprise - International Trade category, one of a small handful from the technology sector.

The Far East has long been the domain for the technology and electronics industries but Enfield-based Horizon now boasts a 90% export market for its range of hand held test equipment for the digital satellite and TV sectors. Horizon was established in 2001 and today the company turns over £4.2m with products both designed and manufactured in the UK.

Paul Pickering, managing director comments: "We have a great business thanks to our employees and partners and this award reflects our innovative culture and ability to deliver solutions on a global platform. We have several new and exciting product launches due in the next few months which will add further credence to our international perspective."

In an age where technology is king, Horizon has proven that UK companies can compete on a global platform through innovation, investment and commitment. The Queen’s Award has recognised the achievements of the company and this will help form a platform for further growth in the international arena.
