UK - Brompton Technology welcomed the Deputy Lieutenant of Greater London, Mr Randeep S. Lall, to its headquarters in West London for a special handover ceremony of the King’s Award for Enterprise, awarded in the Innovation category for the Tessera SX40 LED processor and presented on behalf of His Majesty King Charles III.
Brompton CEO, Richard Mead, reflected on how important the award is to the company, saying: “We pride ourselves on our innovation and it is wonderful to have that recognised with such a prestigious award.”
Speaking to employees and partners gathered for the occasion, Mr Lall emphasised how proud everyone should feel about receiving the coveted award, which goes through a stringent selection process. He said: “What is so special about the King’s Award is that it is a distinction you have all worked for and achieved together as a team. And it is a distinction, I may say, because these Awards are greatly sought after and sparingly given.”
The award comes as Brompton launches its latest processor, the Tessera SQ200. Mead described it as “a great opportunity to remind ourselves of quite how special the SX40 has been.”
The SX40 has been central to Brompton’s growth over many years. Introduced in 2018 when Brompton was entirely focused on live events, its careful design and development, led by CTO Chris Deighton, addressed the challenges of 4K video in elegant ways.
Mead concluded: “I want to thank everyone who has played a part in the SX40’s success story. Including the partners who have been willing to invest in the product, who have used it to deliver incredible projects, and who have challenged us to keep innovating.”
