Marshall Aerospace Managing Director Duncan Eldridge explained: “We are naturally very honoured to receive a Queen’s Award for Enterprise recognising the phenomenal growth of our export business over recent years. Whilst we were notified of the award last year, Covid-19 has meant we have had to wait a little while before a proper celebration could take place.
