On 7th November 2024 the Lord-Lieutenant presented John Mason International Ltd with their King’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade.
To be eligible for the International Trade category winners have demonstrated that their organisation has achieved outstanding growth in overseas earning and in commercial success (for their business size and sector) through either steep year-on-year growth without dips over three years or substantial year-on-year growth without dips over six years.
The KAE is unique because, unlike personal honours awarded in the Monarch’s Birthday or New Year’s Honours Lists, this is an award to a Company, Unit or Organisation and it is the very highest award that a group can receive, and, because of this, it is not awarded lightly.
John Mason International is the UK’s leading international moving company, helping to relocate families, businesses and individuals globally. Renowned for its meticulous and efficient service, it moves over 10,000 people annually to destinations such as Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, South Africa and the UAE.
Headquartered in Knowsley, with facilities in Hemel Hempstead, John Mason International offers comprehensive moving solutions, including expert packing, secure storage and transportation of household names.
Founded in 1884 by Mary Mason with a horse and cart, the company initially delivered coal across Liverpool. Today, John Mason International has orchestrated over one million moves.
