A heartfelt thank you to our committed team, whose dedication and pursuit of excellence have made this achievement possible.” Mottie Kessler OBE, CEO and Chairman – 2M Group of Companies
“We are excited about the future as we continue to innovate and expand our reach. This award is a wonderful testament to the importance of UK export and of the contributions to global trade which the chemical industry makes every day. I would like to thank our business partners across the chemical industry for their long-term support. I would like to acknowledge the fantastic support of our contacts at the Department for Business and Trade (DBT). Their knowledge and insight is invaluable. Last but not least, I want to thank the dedicated team we have across 2M Group.” Maggie Kessler OBE, Co-Owner and Business Export Director – 2M Group of Companies
This achievement follows the 2M Group of Companies receipt of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade in 2019. The Award came in recognition of the significant export growth by 2M and in appreciation of 2M’s investment in young people’s access to a career in STEM, in the form of the 2M STEM programme, founded in 2016. 2M is proud to be an Export Champion for the DBT since 2013.
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, was renamed last year to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses.
