A Royal Reception for Exceptional Achievement
Made For Trade’s Managing Director, Bradley Gaunt, was personally invited to Windsor Castle on 9th July 2024, for a reception with King Charles. This special event celebrated the achievements of British businesses like Made For Trade, who are revolutionising their industries. The King’s Award for Enterprise is one of the UK’s highest accolades in business, and winners are granted the right to display the award emblem for the next five years.
Award-Winning Innovation: The Korniche Roof Lantern
Recognition stems from our revolutionary design of the Korniche Roof Lantern. Our exceptional product continues to be a ground-breaking for homeowners seeking to bathe their flat roof extensions in beautiful natural light and fitters who enjoy the simplicity in how it is put together. The innovative design of the Korniche Roof Lantern makes it a standout choice in the industry, and now it boasts the royal seal of approval!
A Family Business Success Story
Made For Trade, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2023, is a testament to family, dedication, and a commitment to excellence. Their manufacturing facilities in Wynyard, Stockton, and Hartlepool are a hub for innovation, driven by the Gaunt family’s passion.
Bradley Gaunt, Managing Director of Made For Trade, expressed his immense pride in receiving the King’s Award:
“It was an amazing experience to meet King Charles III. He took his time to speak to everyone there which was great to see.
Once again, a big thank you to all at Made for Trade who have worked so hard to make the achievement of the King’s Award for Enterprise possible.”
The spirit of innovation is deeply ingrained in the Gaunt family. Originally established as Aanco by Richard Gaunt in 1979, the company was officially incorporated on December 13th 1983, and since then has evolved into a powerhouse in the industry. Bradley’s brother Ashley, a former chassis designer for an Italian car company, played a key role in the award-winning design of the Korniche Roof Lantern. Their sister Lois also contributes her talents in customer service, making Made For Trade a true family success story.
The King’s Award is a significant milestone for Made For Trade, but for homeowners like you, it signifies something even greater: the chance to bring award-winning design and innovation into your home.
