The Queen’s Award for International Trade – Coombe Castle’s third since 2001 – recognises the British firm’s success in exporting specialist high quality dairy produce from the UK & Ireland to over 40 countries, including Canada, the US, Russia, Japan and South Korea.
Princess Anne also toured the premises to see Coombe Castle’s expanded cream production and its storage facilities, where butter and cheese is stored before being shipped overseas.
“This is a huge honour for our firm and its people,” said Coombe Castle’s chairman, Glyn Woolley. “Our mission is to take the very best of the UK’s dairy produce and export it to a global market that’s got a real appetite for British cheese, butter and milk. Having the Princess Royal here makes us very proud of what we’ve achieved and what we have planned for the future.”
