David Taylor and Mark Payne, managing director and account director at telecoms recruiter First Point Group, have attended a special evening reception for 2009 Queen’s Award winners hosted by Her Majesty The Queen and other members of the Royal Family.

First Point Group won its Queen’s Award in the International Trade category in April and was commended for achieving outstanding export sales. 

Alistair Rynish, chief executive at First Point Group, says: “Winning this award is great recognition for the whole team at First Point. Everyone has worked really hard and we have been very fortunate to have an outstanding team who are very committed.

“Over the past five years we have travelled to all parts of world to do business and it has been a rewarding experience. For David and Mark to meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace was extra special and will not be forgotten. I cannot wait to see what happens over the next five years and where our business will take us.”
