Neal Jones Furniture Honored with King’s Award
In a significant recognition of its exceptional growth and international reach, Neal Jones Furniture, the renowned superyacht furniture designer and manufacturer based in Lancaster, has been awarded the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade.
This highly prestigious accolade, granted by His Majesty The King, celebrates British businesses that demonstrate outstanding short-term growth in overseas sales. Neal Jones Furniture earned the honour through a remarkable 111% increase in international revenue over a three-year period, with strong markets in Italy, the USA, the Netherlands, and Germany.
“We are deeply honoured to receive the King’s Award — a recognition of the highest order that celebrates not only our team’s dedication, but also the strength of British manufacturing rooted in the North of England. We are proud to showcase this emblem as a symbol of excellence, craftsmanship, and passion; and display it across all our platforms including on our stand at the Monaco Yacht Show in September” said Neal Jones, Owner and Creative Director.
Situated on the edge of the UNESCO site of the Lake District, Neal Jones Furniture is a benchmark for excellence in premium, bespoke furniture for both private residences and luxury yachts. The company collaborates with some of the world’s foremost interior and exterior designers, architects, and shipyards.
Central to its ethos is a commitment to British craftsmanship. All pieces are manufactured in the UK, within the company’s in-house workshop staffed by highly skilled master craftspeople. Neal Jones Furniture also partners with a network of artisanal finishers to ensure each piece meets the highest standards of quality. This localised production model not only supports the UK’s skilled trades and domestic supply chains, but also contributes to lowering environmental impact, maintaining control over material sourcing and overall product excellence.
The King’s Award for Enterprise stands as a resounding endorsement of the company’s global impact, innovation, and dedication to British industry. As Neal Jones Furniture continues to elevate standards in luxury furniture design, this Royal recognition affirms its position at the forefront of international trade.
The formal award presentation will take place at Windsor Castle on Thursday, 12th June, marking a proud milestone for the company. Neal Jones Furniture is one of only 197 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise. The Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.
