The second award presentation ceremony took place on the 18th of July
2018 at Tecna Display's North London premises and was attended by the
Tecna team, customers, suppliers, representatives from the Mayor's office
of Haringey as well as the Queen’s representative.
The award was presented to Jonathan Evitt by Captain (Ret'd) Peter Baker
RD DL RNR, the Deputy Lieutenant for the London Borough of Haringey on
behalf of the Queen and the Deputy Mayor of Haringey, Councillor Sheila
Peacock.
With the announcement being made on the 10th of May 2018, Tecna
Display attended and hosted events for the award presentation in the
following weeks.
The award ceremony and presentation consisted of two events; a reception
held at Buckingham Palace for all Queen’s Award winners to meet each
other as well as members of the Royal family and the second being the
actual award presentation day, held at the winner's venue of choice.
On the 28th of June 2018, Tecna Display's Managing Director Jonathan
Evitt and Director Ivan Shepherd visited Buckingham Palace for the winner's
reception. The winners were hosted in one of the various foyers of the
palace and were greeted by HRH Prince Charles, who shared a few words
with each company's representatives.

Captain Peter Baker had this to say, "What is so special about the Queen’s
Award is that it is a distinction you have all worked for and achieved
together as a team. And it is a distinction, because these Awards are greatly
sought after and sparingly given. It is the highest award that can be
bestowed to a UK business.
"I did a little research before coming here today and I can tell you that you
are the only company in the Exhibition Display field to have won the
Queen’s Award and you should be very proud of this achievement. What is
rare and impressive is that you also received the award in 2012. I see this
as evidence of the ambition you have as a team and the continuing hard
work that you have put into the business over the years to ensure you
remain at the very top of your game."

The award represents a huge honour and success for the Tecna Display
family. Having the ability to display the Queen’s Award emblem, which
although a UK award, has global reach and demonstrates to the world and
Tecna's customers, that they can meet the highest standards of excellence
which is central to the UK's competitiveness and prosperity.
Philippe van Ameyde, Sales & Marketing Director at Tecna Display:
"Winning this award for excellence in international trade is an outstanding
achievement. It is proof that our products are well regarded within the
industry; it gives our company a worldwide recognition, an increase in
commercial value and a major boost in staff morale. Getting the Queen’s
endorsement is something we can all be very proud of."
