Trilogy Wins 2009 Queen's Award for International Trade

Issued 21st April 2009

Trilogy, a world class supplier of audio communications and infrastructure equipment to the Broadcast, Defence, Emergency Management, and Commercial and Industrial sectors wins 2009 Queen's Award for International Trade.

Trilogy wins the Award for increasing its exports by 88% over three years, which represented 80% of total sales. Trilogy now sells to customers in over seventy countries and has invested in skilled people increasing its workforce by over a third in the same period.

Mike Knight, Chief Executive Officer of Trilogy commented: “Winning the Queen's Award for International Trade is testament to the dedication and effort of our staff in expanding our international customer base.”

Over the last three years, Trilogy has sold into a large number of new countries in all of its markets with significant success in broadcast sales in the middle east and far east and defence sales in the US.

Mike continued: “Our technology was already successful in the broadcast sector and we were actively looking for alternative markets that would benefit from it. The US defence sector was a natural fit and our dedicated US operation was instrumental in pushing the technology into the market. We have been careful to understand our markets and approach each of them individually.”

In the most recent move to strengthen its business Trilogy has created two new business divisions, Trilogy Broadcast and Network-Centric Communications. The change reflects the Company’s commitment to delivering high quality products and services through a team of individuals who focus on the unique needs of a particular market sector.
