Holroyd Precision Receives Award

Holroyd Precision Ltd (Rochdale, UK) 
received 
the 
Queen’s Award 
for Enterprise, the UK’s highest accolade for business success in 
International 
Trade 2015, for having 
achieved 
year-on-year
 growth 
in exports through the 
development of 
new global markets, creating 
new machine
 tool
 technologies 
with 
particular 
focus
 on 
those markets, 
and 
for 
exporting 
highly 
specialized
 grinding
 and 
milling 
machines 
to manufacturers 
around 
the world.

Over 
the 
last 
few 
months 
alone,
 the company 
has 
secured 
export 
orders 
worth 
in 
excess
 of 
£7 
million ($10.4 million). This year 
marks 
the 
50th 
anniversary 
of 
the 
Queen’s 
Awards, meaning Holroyd joins 
an
 elite
 group 
of companies 
that 
have 
been 
recognized 
as 
deserving
 winners 
in 
what 
is 
a 
particularly
 significant 
year.

“We 
are 
extremely 
proud 
and 
honored 
to 
have 
won 
what 
is 
clearly 
the 
UK’s 
most
 prestigious 
business award,” 
commented the company’s
 chief
 executive 
officer, 

Tony
 Bannan. 
“In
securing 
the award, 
we 
were able 
to 
demonstrate 
significant growth 
in overseas
 trade, 
something
 that 
was achieved 
in
spite 
of 
challenging 
global 
trading
 conditions. 
I 
would 
like 
to thank 
our 
staff
 here 
in 
Rochdale 
and 
our 
various support 
teams
 globally 
for 
their 
hard
 work 
and 
dedication
 that
 has 
made 
winning the 
Queen’s 
Award
 possible.”

Their recent 
£3 
million ($4.5 million) 
development 
of 
the 
Zenith 
400 
helical 
profile 
grinding 
machine
, 
a 
truly groundbreaking technology 
that 
has 
already 
resulted 
in
 orders 
from 
the 
U.S., China 
and 
Germany
, 
is 
just 
one 
example 
of 
their 
commitment 
to investment. The 
company 
also 
has 
a 
long 
track 
record 
of 
investing 
in 
young 
people 
at 
their 
Rochdale 
headquarters
 and
 for 
ongoing 
research in 
milling 
and 
grinding 
technologies 
at 
post graduate 
and 
post-doctoral 
levels. 
When 
developing 
new 
machine 
tools,
 
Holroyd
 is
 also 
acutely 
aware 
of 
the 
importance 
of 
minimizing 
environmental 
impact 
as 
much 
as
 fulfilling 
the 
needs 
of 
its 
customers.

Over 
the 
past 
12 
months, 
the company 
has 
secured 
a 
number 
of 
high
 profile
 business 
accolades. 
In February
 2014,
 they were 
the 
proud 
recipient 
of 
the 
Greater
 China 
Business 
Award 
for 
the 
North 
West. Also 
in 
the 
same 
month,
 one 
of 
their
 young
 engineers 
was
 presented 
with 
the 
respected
 AMTRI scholarship 
at
 the
 Manufacturing
 Technologies
 Association
 (MTA) awards
 dinner. In 
June 
2014, 
the business was 
identified 
as 
one

coming 
medium-sized 
subsidiaries 
of 
foreign

Finally, in 
November 
2014,

Year
