They add great value to the economy in the town but not only that Peter steps out and works very tirelessly with the Adur and Worthing Business Partnership and also as a STEM (science, technology, English and maths) ambassador within our secondary schools.”
Mr Webb, who was made an MBE in 2015 for his services to business and the community, praised the company’s 175 staff across its three Worthing factories.
He said: “I am lucky to have such a dedicated and supportive workforce, who without their hard work and commitment this honour would not have been possible. By keeping our manufacturing and research and development in the UK we have been able to support our local economy whilst successfully continuing to grow the business.”
The Queen’s Award is often referred to as the ‘most prestigious’ award a business can gain.
