Back in April, Swift-Cut announced that it had been awarded a Queen’s Award for International Trade, and earlier this month the company welcomed the Duke of Gloucester and Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire to its HQ to present Neil Smith, international global development director, with the award.

Launched in 2011, Swift-Cut designs, engineers and manufactures CNC cutting machinery, exporting 80% of its products. In a speech made after receiving the award, Smith thanked the duke for taking time out of his schedule to attend the event. He also acknowledged the collaborative way in which Swift-Cut works, thanking team members for their continued commitment to making the company a global success. During a tour of the facility, the duke was given full control of a plasma cutting machine.
