I hate to say this but.. having read the report from the Queens Award the other day this year has seen a record low of applicants for the Queens Award. So much so that they struggled to find 121 companies to award! Female condom manufacturers and a creative service company in Middlesex with 6 employees are some of Lotus' fellow winners - the bulk of the winners being advertising and marketing agencies and other service companies. Production levels at a spectacular low, CEO's promises not delivered (and another CEO gone!), Lotus' reputation at the factory, with dealers and with the public at an all time low. Sorry, what was the award for?
