Five Lancashire business will be heading to Buckingham Palace to receive Queen's Awards for Enterprise, one in recognition of its innovation and four more for international trade achievements.

Blackpool-based family firm TISS Ltd earned its second Queen’s Award for Enterprise after its TankSafe Impregnable fuel security device won the award for innovation.

The product is sold in over 60 countries and through TISS’ regular liaison with their global network of customers, distributors and OEM partners.

Ryan Wholey, CEO of TISS, said: “We are delighted to win our second Queen’s Award in four years. To win two awards is a fantastic achievement for a business which was only formed in 2001 and the prestige of these awards will assist our expansion plans.”

Lancaster-based company Rinicom has received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, for International Trade for a second time, first earning the accolade in 2013.

Rinicom CEO, Professor Garegin Markarian, said: “We are overwhelmed and honoured to have received the Queen’s Award for the second time. It is an amazing achievement for us, as well as recognition for all the hard work our team have put in over the past few years."

Formed in 2002, Rinicom found success providing bespoke telecommunications solutions to law-enforcement agencies, first responders and professional security companies. Their most successful products include the world’s smallest integrated miniature transmitter known as SkyPatriot.

Rinicom operates throughout the world, including in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, India, Singapore and Ukraine.

 

 

 

 

Preston-based Recycling Lives also won a Queen’s Award for International Trade, following wins for Sustainable Development in 2010 and 2014.

The award recognises the firm’s work processing waste streams for businesses including John Lewis Group, BT and British Gas, producing high-quality metals and plastics to be reused or remanufactured.

Winners will be invited to Buckingham Palace to meet The Queen and receive their award at a prestigious ceremony.
