Cambridge-based Adder designs and manufacturers market-leading high-performance connectivity solutions that are distributed globally via an expanding network of distributors, resellers and system integrators to over 60 countries.
This award follows Adder’s previous commendations by the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in 2001 and 2014 for International Trade and Innovation respectively. Now, in their 54th year, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are deemed the most prestigious business awards in the UK.

Adder founder and CEO Adrian Dickens said: “We are extremely proud to win another Queen’s Award – this time recognising our International Trade efforts. Earlier in the year, we were delighted to announce a multi-million dollar investment to support our global expansion and I consider this accolade as an acknowledgement of the fantastic work undertaken by the team at Adder. This award will surely add to the momentum of the organisation’s growth as it reinforces our commitment to improving the connectivity needs of our customers.”
