AN INTERNATIONAL recruitment firm has spoken of its pride at receiving top royal honours for the second time in five years.

Protec, which specialises in technical and engineering recruitment, won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

They are given on the Queen’s birthday for outstanding achievement across four categories: sustainable development, promoting opportunity through social mobility, innovation and international trade.
