Local business receives Queen's Award for Enterprise

Ribeye Boats and Tenders has been awarded a Queen's Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category. 

The business, based in Dartmouth, is one of only 205 organisations nationally to be recognised with the prestigious Queen's Award. 

Ribeye Boats & Tenders has been recognised for its "excellence in international trade and exponential growth
over the last three years". Now a major employer in the South West, Ribeye Boats and Tenders was set up in 1998 and manufactures premium leisure RIBs and superyacht tenders. 

James Burroughs, Managing Director, said: “We are immensely proud to be recognised for the Queen's Award. Our business has grown as a result of the team’s sheer hard work and determination to ensure we manufacture boats and tenders that are world class. We have grown from a small family business to a world-renowned boat builder, and I couldn’t be more excited for the future." 

Now in its 55th year, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the Queen’s Awards emblem for the next five years.
