These Awards are the most prestigious award a UK company can receive. His Majesty The King approves the winners, which recognises companies of all sizes.
“We are honoured to have been chosen for this special award,” said Jonathan Gill, managing director and founder, Signum Aviation. “It is a terrific achievement and underscores our commitment to our valued clients across the globe. I would like to thank our dedicated and proactive team who continue to work tirelessly and with the upmost professionalism every day to make our business successful.”
Founded by Jonathan in 2007, the business has grown substantially from a small office in Chester in the UK and just one client, to a global business supporting over 300 aircraft tails around the world each year. Aircraft types supported range in size from the Pilatus PC-12 through to the Boeing 777. Its present facility at Manchester’s City Airport is complemented by locations in Denver, USA; Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Subang, Malaysia.
Signum Aviation has become a benchmark company in the business aviation industry, providing flight planning and operations support to an international client base spanning North America, Europe, Africa, China and the Middle East. Its clients include Heads of State, government aircraft and many high-net-worth individuals across the globe.
The company specialises in providing a personalised service offering tailored and flexible support to its customers on a 24/7 basis. Its service portfolio consists of providing flight planning, handling setup, overflight and landing permits, weather briefings and runway analysis, as well as airfield performance, flight watch services and third-party charters.
The Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the UK. The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The awards celebrate the success of exciting and innovative businesses which are leading the way with pioneering products or services, delivering impressive social mobility programmes, or showing their commitment to excellent sustainable development practices.
