Swift-Lite
was awarded the Queen's Award for International Trade in 2004 for achievements
in the years 2000 – 2002.
The criteria for the award was: -
"Business units must be able to demonstrate substantial growth in overseas earnings and commercial success, to levels that are outstanding for the goods or services concerned and for the size of the applicant's operations. Businesses may apply under the following criteria:
Outstanding achievement in international trade, sustained over not less than three years.
or

This
award was a great honour for the entire Swift-Lite team. We were also delighted
that His Royal Highness, The Duke of York KCVO, ADC, The UK Special Representative
for International Trade and Investment, was able to spend some time with
us and 130 staff and guests on the 8th September 2004.
He presented our Managing Director, Steve Barnes, with the Award and formally opened our new office block and warehouse facility.
After that he spent almost an hour touring the site, observing the manufacturing process and chatting with staff and guests.
