Award Recipients

CTE Advanced Technologies Ltd is proud to have been recognised with a King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, one of the most prestigious honours a UK business can receive.

Founded in 2006 and based in Aylesbury, CTE has built its reputation as a trusted engineering partner to leading global motorsport teams and specialist high-performance automotive manufacturers. The company delivers mission-critical fluid and thermal system solutions, including complex exhaust systems, fluid transfer systems and fuel tanks, operating in some of the world’s most demanding environments.

Over the past two decades, CTE has evolved from a specialist manufacturer into an internationally recognised engineering partner supporting customers competing at the highest levels of global motorsport, including Formula 1, the World Rally Championship and the IndyCar Series. The company’s work is trusted where precision, reliability and speed of delivery are critical, and where failure is not an option.

CTE’s international growth has been driven by a commitment to engineering excellence, long-term customer relationships and a culture built around consistently delivering under pressure. Over the three-year award period, overseas sales increased by approximately 60%, with exports now accounting for 63% of total turnover.

Commenting on the Award, CTE’s CEO Chris Tullett says: “To receive a King’s Award for International Trade is a tremendous honour and a significant milestone for everyone at CTE. Since the business was founded, our focus has always been on earning trust through consistent delivery in some of the world’s most demanding engineering environments.

“This award recognises not only our export growth, but the standards, dedication and teamwork that underpin everything we do as a business. We are incredibly proud of what the team has achieved together.”

As CTE celebrates its 20th year in business, receiving a King’s Award represents an important milestone in the company’s journey and reinforces its ambition to continue growing internationally while maintaining the standards and values that
