MALVERN-based firm Metrasens was presented with the Queen’s Award for Industry for a second consecutive year.
Having won the trade category last year, this year’s award is for innovation which recognises the company’s work in providing advanced screening capabilities which are not necessarily available through current detection technology.
HRH The Duke of Gloucester presented the award to the high-tech company on Sparrowhall Close and was joined by the Lord Lieutenant Of Worcestershire, Lt Col Patrick Holcroft.
Dr Simon Goodyear, co-founder and chief executive of Metrasens, said: “We are continually looking for new ways in which we can deploy our core technology, to help our customers solve real and previously intractable safety and security problems, in over 40 countries and growing.
“This honour is a testament to the dedication of everyone in the company.”
