The window and door manufacturer Shelforce is featured in a commemorative book album honouring King Charles III’s 75th birthday. The book – titled King Charles III: The Leadership and Vision of a Modern Monarch – is to be launched at Claridge’s hotel, London, on the king’s 75th birthday, 14 November.
“It is an unbelievable honour for Shelforce to feature in such an important and historic book in the year of the King’s coronation,” said Howard Trotter, business manager for Shelforce. “We are delighted to represent not only our local community but also the industry.”
Published by St James’s House and royal biographer Robert Jobson, the fully illustrated hardback book charts Charles’ life, from his role and responsibilities as the Prince of Wales to his accession and coronation as king. The book also highlights examples of achievement and progress across social, cultural, technological and commercial spheres.
Earlier this year, the window and door manufacturer was announced as one of the winners of the King’s Award for Enterprise in Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility). Read our fuller report about this here. This achievement afforded Howard the opportunity to meet King Charles III at a royal reception in Buckingham Palace for all of the Kings Award for Enterprise winners.
“Promoting opportunity is the reason behind Shelforce’s continued success,” added Howard, commenting about the firm’s King’s Award. “This is fantastic recognition for our incredible team and the processes we have in place. It’s also fantastic news for the local community of Erdington.”
