International win for Ceres

A Horsham business has won an award recognising its excellence in international trade.

Ceres, a global leader in clean energy technology, received this year’s Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, a spokesman for the firm said.

The Foundry Lane based firm has a unique fuel cell and electrochemical technology that can be used to provide clean power for homes, businesses and transport or in reverse to generate green hydrogen and future fuels as a route to help solve climate change and accelerate the world’s transition to clean affordable energy.

Phil Caldwell, chief executive, said: “We are absolutely delighted to receive a Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in the International Trade category.

“It is a testament to the collaboration and commitment of our team that we have continued to grow the business, deliver global customer projects and programmes and to support one another through what has been an extraordinary year.

“We will be sharing the good news today – and very much hope to celebrate together when that is possible later in the year.”

Ceres licenses its technology to global partners, such as Bosch in Germany, Miura in Japan, Doosan in South Korea, and Weichai in China. Over the past five years, the Company has generated revenues and other income of over £60 million, predominantly through export, the spokesman added. During 2020, Ceres averaged over 325 employees across its two sites in Horsham and Redhill.
