The company’s approach highlights how UK manufacturers can succeed in global markets. SolderKing has developed a flexible international trade model tailored to the specific needs of each region. This includes offering direct supply in selected countries, such as Ireland, alongside a carefully managed distributor network. The model ensures close customer support, technical expertise, and efficient market access, empowering the company to compete effectively in demanding sectors.

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 Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country.
