Harford Attachments Ltd have received a King's Award for International Trade for Outstanding Short-Term Growth in overseas sales over the last three years.
A family business based in Norwich and employing 40 staff, Harford produces a wide range of earthmoving attachments with a reputation for outstanding quality and market-leading safety features. Since establishing a sales office and warehouse in Clearwater, Florida, just three years ago, Harford’s sales into the USA have grown fivefold, and exports now represent nearly 50% of total sales revenue.
Reacting to news of the award, CEO Anna Kidd said: I am delighted and honoured to receive this most prestigious award on behalf of the amazing Harford team, who have worked so hard to ensure our success in new markets where high levels of product quality and customer service are extremely important. The King’s Award provides huge encouragement to build on this success and explore new overseas growth opportunities. I would like to thank all our international customers, without whom this achievement would not have been possible.
The King’s Award Office said: The last few years have been a challenging time for businesses, and this award is a testament to everything you and your team have worked together to accomplish. Harford Attachments Ltd is one of 252 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise.
