Queen's Award Received for Spectroscopy Developments
Jan 21 2015
Dame Janet Trotter, Her Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Gloucestershire, presented Renishaw with a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in November, for the continuous development of the company's inVia Raman microscope. The award, granted in the Innovations Category and representing the 17th Queen’s Award for the company is particularly special, as it is the first to recognise Renishaw's achievements outside of the field of industrial metrology.
Welcomed to the company’s headquarters at New Mills, Wotton-under-Edge, by chairman and CEO Sir David McMurtry, the Lord-Lieutenant made the formal presentation, in the form of an engraved crystal bowl, to Simon Holden, Director and General Manager of the Spectroscopy Products Division and Sue Farrow, Senior Buyer. The citation was read by Peter Bungard, Chief Executive of Gloucestershire County Council, and Clerk to the Lieutenancy.
Speaking to Renishaw employees about their success, Dame Janet said, "You all know that you work for an absolutely excellent company. Excellence doesn't just happen. It takes quality leadership; setting a culture, inspiring, motivating and nurturing. You recruit the right people and you live the company values. You have a passion for creating high quality products and I'm really impressed by your capacity to innovate."
She added, "One of the great things about today is not just that this is the first (Queen's) Award for the Healthcare Division but also that you have pushed your skills and techniques further to recreate and innovate with a new product. Many congratulations to you and your team on this excellent achievement; it is a first for Renishaw."
