Lord Lieutenant of Essex, Lord Petre (far left) presents Plextek co-founders Dr. Colin Smithers, Mr. Ian Murphy and Mr. Tim Jackson with the official Grant of Appointment and Emblem during yesterday's formal ceremony to mark Plextek's double Queen's Award for Enterprise win early this year, for Innovation and International Trade. The presentation, which took place at The Nucleus on the Chesterford Research Park, was watched by an audience of local dignitaries and Plextek staff.

Plextek has shown superb growth in its international sales, having nearly trebled exports over the last three years to an aggregate of £48m. The company has also been a constant innovator, particularly in the field of wireless technologies, as illustrated by the success of its Ultra Narrow Band (UNB) radio devices and its Blighter electronic scanning radar technology.
