Thursday 21st September was a very special day for Isothermal Technology, a day that everyone will always remember. The Queen’s official representative the Lord-Lieutenant, Mr Mark Blundell accompanied by the Deputy Lieutenant, Mr John Flamson OBE DL visited Isotech to formally present the Queen’s Award to John Tavener, Isotech Managing Director. Also present was the Clerk to the Lieutenancy of Merseyside Lieutenant Colonel JJV McEvoy.

John Tavener welcomed the dignitaries and briefed the visitors on the microK before introducing the Isotech team on a tour of Isotech’s office, factory and laboratories. Following the tour the Lord Lieutenant addressed the company and his speech included, “Her Majesty The Queen, in approving this Award, sends her congratulations and best wishes to all who have contributed to the outstanding work of the organisation.

The very innovative approach in the co-development of a new type of resistance bridge for use in the highest precision measurement applications and establishing and dissemination of the International Temperature Scale has set the Innovation bar at a very high level. For this you should feel justifiably proud. A remarkable example of a highly specialised product which has made your company a world leader in its field.”

Following that Deputy Lieutenant read the Grant of Appointment.
