Queen's Award For Enterprise
In 2008, IFPL were awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise: International Trade.
Each year The Queen's Awards are presented in three categories to around 140 companies. IFPL's award is for demonstrating continuous achievement in International Trade. It is one of the most coveted of all industry awards in the UK and its prestigious status is recognised around the World.
IFPL representatives were invited to Buckingham Palace to meet Her Majesty The Queen and HRH Prince Philip. This has since been followed up by a visit by the Duke of Kent to the companies' premises on the Isle of Wight in 2010.
Geoff Underwood, who began IFPL in 1997 with a visit to WAEA Orlando, said: "It is a great honour to be given such a prestigious award. IFPL is proud to be a supplier to many of the World's major airlines, as well as all of the major IFE suppliers, and we are grateful for their trust in our abilities, and their continued business that has helped us achieve this major award".
"With only 85 companies in the UK receiving Awards in this category we are understandably delighted to have been recognised in this way, and it positions us as one of the top performing businesses in the UK. This outstanding performance has been achieved by providing innovative, well engineered solutions to meet our customer's requirements quickly and with a high level of quality control."
