Millers Oils receives Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Jubilee year

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 25, 2012 - The prestigious business award is in recognition of the exceptional international growth the company has experienced in the past three years. Millers Oils will proudly display the award emblem for the next five years. The award will be officially presented by the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire.

“Despite the difficult economic conditions of the past three years, Millers Oils has produced consistent, strong growth in its business, both domestically and internationally,” said Steve Woollven, Millers Oils sales and joint managing director. “Receiving the Queen’s Award for Enterprise is an enormous honour for the company and will help open doors for us as we continue to develop our export business. We already have a strong presence in Europe and the Far East and are now developing distributor networks in Africa and South America.”

Millers Oils is dedicated to helping customers’ processes and vehicles run more efficiently and for longer. In 2009, the company decided to invest heavily in the company’s infrastructure, building a state-of-the-art technology centre to support development of advanced new oil blends for use in a range of industries, including manufacturing, motorsport and automotive. It recently launched its new Nanodrive engine oil technology at the 2012 Autosport International show.

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise celebrate companies who have made an outstanding contribution to the British economy and have played a significant role in promoting enterprise skills and attitudes. Recognised worldwide, the award for International Trade is presented to companies demonstrating outstanding achievement in international trade over three years or continuous achievement in international trade over six years.
