RJM International, a former member of IFRF in the UK, has been formally presented with The King’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade 2026 trophy and a certificate by the Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire.

The company had the privilege of celebrating this achievement with all its UK-based staff, plus the Head of RJM USA and the Head of RJM Asia-Pacific, supported by some of RJM’s key suppliers. Other guests included Simon Tufnell, the Deputy Lord-Lieutenant of Hampshire, Jamie Scott, the Mayor of Winchester, Laura Taylor, the Chief Executive of Winchester City Council and Lucille Thompson, the Cabinet Member for Business & Culture on Winchester City Council.

Commenting on the Award, John Goldring said: “This award is granted to those businesses that have achieved three years’ of consistently strong turnover growth in overseas markets. For us, over the past three years, this has meant good sales in Sweden, Spain, Turkey and Kosovo, as well as further afield in the USA, Malaysia and Australia.

“All of these projects have been quite different, so what this confirms to me is that no matter where in the world a power plant is, and no matter what the combustion technology or the type of fuel, RJM has a viable solution that can help that plant improve efficiency, cut its emissions, raise its MWe output – and increasingly – help it on its transition to net zero,” he confirmed.

A total of 186 King’s Awards were granted in 2026, of which 75 were for International Trade, 52 for Innovation, 36 for Sustainability, 22 for Promoting Opportunity, with one company being a double winner.

As specialist engineering fabricators are such a key part of RJM’s success in overseas sales, RJM also invited its leading UK and overseas component suppliers to attend the celebrations. This included a presentation and workshop session to share knowledge and discuss plans for the future.
