Mark Crabtree Obe Accepting A Kings Award For Enterprise From The Lord Lieutenant Of Lancashire Press

AMS NEVE received the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise at a special ceremony held at the company’s global headquarters in Burnley.

The digital and analogue audio equipment specialist was given the award for excellence in overseas trade.

And it was formally presented by King Charles III's representative, the Lord-Lieutenant of Lancashire Amanda Parker.

AMS Neve’s equipment is found in the world’s most prestigious studios. It is all designed and made in Burnley. 

Its pioneering products - including many ‘world firsts’ - have changed the way that music, TV and film production is carried out worldwide.

AMS Neve exports 85 per cent of its products to 90 countries and has been awarded four previous Queen's Awards for Enterprise.

The special ceremony included a talk about the history of the company by managing director Mark Crabtree, plus a speech of congratulations from the mayor of Burnley, Shah Hussain.

Guests then enjoyed a demonstration of a digital film console mixing desk and during a factory tour were given a VIP preview of a new console which will be installed in the iconic Abbey Road Studios.

The mayor, Councillor Shah Hussain, said: “It gives me great pleasure to share in the pride which we all have of the achievements of AMS Neve.

“The company continues to go from strength to strength and is recognised worldwide as best in class at what you do. All of you are proof that British design and engineering cannot be beaten.

 

 

 

“May I say on behalf of Burnley how proud we are that you are such a strong, successful and innovative company, and that you continue to train new generations and expand. We wish you every success in the future.”

Amanda Parker, The Lord-Lieutenant of Lancashire, added: “The continual growth in exports, in innovation of product, is just astonishing. I congratulate every one of you.

“Only around 10 per cent of applications are finally awarded the King’s Award. You go through rigorous testing, with due diligence, then something like 18 or more government departments.

“To pass all those tests and then be awarded, it really is something to be incredibly proud of.”

Mark Crabtree described the award as a “lovely tribute” to the company’s workforce.

He said: “It really does mean a lot to us. Everybody here is very hard working, and very dedicated to what we do.

“To receive an award that’s from the nation, from the King, is something very special indeed and means a lot to all the team. I do thank you very much indeed for presenting us with this award.”
