Unity In Community’s group partners – Atlantic Pacific Global Logistics – were recently presented with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise – International Trade.
On the 16th of October His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant of Essex, Mrs Jennifer Tolhurst, presented Ashley and Christine Nichols, Directors of Atlantic Pacific Global Logistics, with the award at a private event.
The presentation was made at Friern Manor in Dunton, Essex and VIP guests included Councillor Victoria Joseph, Deputy Mayor of Basildon, Councillor Jill Reeves, Lady Chairman of Essex County Council, Councillor Ron Woodley, Mayor of Southend-on-Sea, Councillor Nigel Folkard, Deputy Mayor of Southend and Lesley Batchelor CBE.
A citation from His Majesty The King was read out by Mr Philip Tolhurst and guests included many of Atlantic Pacific Global Logistics employees, Atlantic Pacific Group Directors, suppliers, partners, customers, friends and families along with representatives from some of the charities and community groups we support.
The event represented the official awarding of the accolade, which was announced on May 7th, and followed two official receptions in July to celebrate the winners. One of which took place at Windsor Castle hosted by His Majesty The King, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent, where Christine, Unity’s Executive Chairwoman, represented the company.
