Superyacht furniture designer and manufacturer Neal Jones Furniture has won the King's Award for International Trade for Outstanding Short-Term Growth in overseas sales over three years. The King's Award is granted by His Majesty The King to businesses demonstrating exceptional success and commitment in their respective fields.
Neal Jones Furniture has been recognised for achieving an impressive 111 per cent growth in overseas revenue over a three-year period, including Italy, the USA, the Netherlands and Germany. Based in Lancaster, Neal Jones Furniture has a portfolio that extends to residential and yachting projects, collaborating with interior and exterior designers, architects and shipyards such as Lürssen.
Work is completed in-house, supported by a network of specialist finishers and artisanal workers based in the UK in order to "preserve traditional skills, support local industries, and minimise [their] carbon footprint".
"We are deeply honoured to receive the King’s Award – a recognition of the highest order that celebrates not only our team's dedication, but also the strength of British manufacturing rooted in the North of England," said owner and creative director Neal Jones. "We are proud to display this emblem as a symbol of excellence, craftsmanship, and the values that define our work, both at the Monaco Yacht Show and across all our platforms."
The award ceremony will be held at Windsor Castle on 12 June.
