Significant growth and success

Her Majesty the Queen has approved the Prime Minister’s recommendation for GJD to be honoured with this award owing to the company’s significant growth and success in export trade over the past six years. The Lord-Lieutenant of the County, The Queen’s local representative will visit GJD’s premises in Heywood, Greater Manchester, later in the year to present this award. Two representatives from GJD will also attend a reception at the Palace later in the year.
