C-Kore Systems Limited from Escrick, York have been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise - International Trade 2024 due to their outstanding short-term growth in overseas sales over 3 years. This is their third award in just over 5 years, having already received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise - Innovation in 2019 and a Queen’s Award for Enterprise - International Trade in 2021.

C-Kore has grown significantly since being awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise - Innovation in 2019. With their exceptional service and great team, C-Kore has revolutionised the oil & gas industry. Their small, automated, stand-alone testing tools have been mobilised more than 800 times, assisting operators to maintain their underwater electrical networks.

Cynthia Pikaar, Director of Sales & Marketing for C-Kore commented:
“When we won our second award, The Queen’s Award for Enterprise - International Trade in 2021, the business climate was very different. The world was going through a global pandemic and, due to strict quarantine rules, moving offshore personnel around for subsea operations was extremely difficult. Our customers really appreciated the benefits of our simple-to-use technology which negated the need for additional offshore personnel, whilst still having C-Kore technical support available remotely if required”.


Fast forward 3 years and the reputation of C-Kore’s patented testing tools has reached around the globe. With the assistance of strategically placed in-country representatives, attending local exhibitions, 1-2-1 meetings either in person or via Teams, and word of mouth recommendations from happy customers, C-Kore’s overseas sales have continued to grow resulting in 80% of C-Kore’s orders now coming from outside the UK.

As an organisation C-Kore is extremely proud of these achievements and is looking forward to continuing to serve the global subsea industry in the years to come.
