Fortress Safety Welcomes Lord-Lieutenant for King’s Award Presentation

We are thrilled to announce that Fortress Safety had the distinct honor of welcoming the West Midlands Lord-Lieutenant Derrick Anderson CBE to our headquarters last week. His visit marked the formal presentation of our King’s Award for International Trade, a prestigious accolade recognising our commitment to excellence in global commerce. His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of West Midlands was accompanied by the Lord Lieutenant’s Cadet, Cadet Flight Sergeant Thomas Cartwright.

The Lord-Lieutenant, representing His Majesty the King, took the time to meet with our team, touring our facilities and engaging with staff. His speech during the award presentation was not only inspiring but also a celebration of the hard work and dedication that our entire team has shown over the years. It was truly a pleasure to hear him speak so highly of our achievements and the positive impact Fortress Safety is making internationally.

This award is particularly important to us at Fortress Safety because it highlights our commitment to expanding our presence on the international stage. It reflects not only our ability to compete globally but also our continued innovation and dedication to providing world-class safety solutions. The recognition affirms that our products are trusted worldwide, and that our efforts to develop strong, lasting relationships with international clients are being acknowledged at the highest levels.

Receiving the King’s Award for International Trade validates the direction we’ve taken as a company and serves as a motivation for future growth. It reassures our customers and partners that they are working with a trusted, globally recognised leader in safety systems.

The visit concluded with a buffet lunch, allowing our staff to come together and celebrate this significant milestone in our company’s journey. The event was a wonderful opportunity for everyone at Fortress to reflect on our successes and to look forward to the exciting future ahead.

We are incredibly proud to receive the King’s Award for International Trade and will continue to strive for excellence as we expand our reach and deliver innovative safety solutions to our global partners.
