Queens Award double for Snap-on

30 April 2019  

Snap-on has been awarded two Queen’s Awards, in the Innovation and International Trade categories respectively. Snap-on is one of a small number of companies to be awarded in multiple categories.

The award for Innovation was presented in recognition of Snap-on’s all-in-one repair information resource, SureTrack.

Mark Ost, General Manager for Diagnostics and Equipment at Snap-on, said: “When we develop our software our aim is to try and ensure that a workshop and technician’s life is made easier, and that they can work productively and carry out first time fixes on the vehicles that are coming into their garages. This makes the workshop more efficient and profitable. “We continue to listen to our customers about the challenges they are seeing in their workshops and build our software around this feedback. This means they can repair their customers’ vehicles faster, first time, and offer a great service.”

Mark Ost added: “It is a true honour and privilege for our achievements here at Snap-on to be recognised with the rare and prestigious accolade of two separate Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.Snap-on continues to grow in all markets at home and abroad and we will continue to work hard on bringing exciting new products and technologies to the markets we operate in as well as continuously demonstrating our commitment to innovation.”

The awards are valid for five years and will enable Snap-on to fly the Queen’s Awards flag at its premises and use the emblem on its stationery, products and packaging. Queens Award winners can also use The Queen’s Award Emblem in advertising, marketing and on the packaging for a period of five years. The awards are made annually by Her Majesty The Queen.
