Gill Instruments recognised with prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise

We are proud to announce that Gill Instruments has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade for Outstanding Short Term Growth.

Now in its 59th year, the Award programme is the most prestigious business recognition in the UK, and celebrates the success of exciting and innovative businesses which are leading the way with pioneering products or services across International Trade, Innovation, Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity (through Social Mobility). The winners, which were announced today, will be invited to a Royal reception at Windsor Castle and will be entitled to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.

Gill Instruments is one of 197 organisations nationwide to receive this year’s honour, recognising the company’s exceptional contribution to international trade in its field. With a total of 199 Awards presented in 2025, Gill Instruments’ recognition highlights its outstanding short-term growth over the last three years.

Founded in 1985 in Lymington, a town in the New Forest and facing the Isle of Wight, Gill Instruments began as an innovative engineering company specialising in ultrasonic air flow measurement. Today, the company supplies advanced ultrasonic wind sensors and weather stations to customers in over 73 countries, serving a variety of applications and markets including meteorology, process control, utilities, agriculture, marine and transport. 

Alan Brooke, CEO, of Gill Instruments, commented:

“We are extremely honoured to receive the King’s Awards for Enterprise in International Trade for Outstanding Short Term Growth. This recognition, which comes at a particularly significant time as we celebrate 40 years in the business, is a testament to the dedication of our team and our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality products and services to our customers around the world. We have grown from a family business into a global organisation, but our core values have remained unchanged. This award will serve as both a proud milestone and continued source of inspiration as we move forward”.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise, formerly known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in celebrating outstanding UK businesses. Successful businesses are able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.
