It has been a fantastic day for the whole team celebrating our win of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade!

As Mark Owen from “Punchline” reported, it was a proud moment for business and civic leaders when a high powered Chinese delegation arrived at Gloucester City Council’s North Warehouse this afternoon. Gloucester-based Helipebs Controls Ltd signed a memorandum of understanding with Jinshi Group (JMP) of China. The negotiations were supported by Chinese business expert Qing Lin of Stroud-based Join in China and Gloucester MP Richard Graham who has wide experience of the business community in China and the Far East.

Phil Spiers, Head of Testing Laboratories at the ASTC said “It’s such a unique job for us. We haven’t done it before but we have the skills and experience in abundance to help this manufacturer get their planes in the sky as quickly as possible. We’ve constructed a bespoke test rigging, designed and cut parts using other facilities in the AMRC, such as lasering for incredible precision and we are relying on Helipebs cylinders as we always do!”.

The annual contest selects just one winner from over 400 suppliers based on quality, on time delivery and customer service. This year DMR seals were selected for outstanding performance in all areas. Andy Woodward, Technical Buyer for Helipebs Controls said “DMR have been a pleasure to deal with. They provide us with what we need, when we need it and if there is an issue, they are the first to put their hands up and work with us to get us the right solution quickly.”
