Notably, Niftylift holds the unique distinction of being the only company ever to receive two Queen’s Awards on two separate occasions, highlighting its ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation.
“We are immensely proud to receive this distinguished award,” said John Keely, Managing Director of Niftylift.
“This accolade reflects our hard work and dedication to excellence in the international trade arena. It underscores our commitment to not only advancing our technology but also ensuring that our operations support sustainable practices worldwide.”
Reward for hard work
The King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade is awarded to British businesses for their exceptional performance in international expansion and commercial success.
Criteria for the award include demonstrating substantial growth in overseas earnings and commercial success through innovative products and services.
Niftylift has significantly expanded its global footprint, demonstrating remarkable export volumes that have increased consistently year on year.
The company’s innovative approach to design and manufacturing has enabled it to deliver high-quality, environmentally conscious products that meet rigorous international standards.
Real benefits
Niftylift’s export success also brings dramatic benefits to its local economies.
Most notably in the UK, but also in the United States and Europe, Niftylift has brought ongoing investment and much-needed job creation.
“Our success is not just measured by sales but also by the positive impact we have on communities and the environment,” John added.
“We work hard to be successful on the international stage, but we are a family business at heart, and the wellbeing of our staff, their families and our local communities is what drives us to succeed,” he said.
