CTE Advanced Technologies Limited Awarded King’s Award for
Enterprise for International Trade
CTE Advanced Technologies Ltd, a UK-based engineering partner delivering highperformance fluid and thermal system solutions for ultra-high-performance
vehicles, has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise in International
Trade (2026). The award recognises exceptional international growth,
underpinned by more than two decades of engineering excellence.
Founded in 2006, CTE has evolved into a trusted partner to leading global
motorsport teams and specialist automotive manufacturers operating at the
highest levels of performance. As an active member of the Motorsport Industry
Association, the company’s work supports vehicles competing — and winning
— at the very forefront of international competition, including Formula 1, the
World Rally Championship and IndyCar Series.
Rather than supplying individual components, CTE manufactures and delivers
fully integrated systems — including complex fluid transfer assemblies exhaust
systems and fuel tanks — that perform reliably in the most demanding
environments, where precision, speed of delivery and absolute confidence are
critical. This capability has enabled the business to build long-term relationships
with customers who operate under extreme technical and time pressures,
where failure is not an option.
The company’s international growth has been driven by this reputation for
delivering under pressure. In motorsport, CTE supports teams whose success
depends on rapid development cycles and uncompromising performance. In
parallel, the business has expanded into low-volume, high-value automotive
programmes, working with specialist supercar and hypercar manufacturers to
deliver complex, production-ready systems to the highest quality standards.
CTE’s export strategy is centred on deepening direct customer relationships and
maintaining a close presence within its global markets, often aligning
engagement with major international events such as the Indianapolis 500. This
proximity enables the business to support customers in real time, strengthening
partnerships and driving repeat business.
Over the three-year award period, CTE’s overseas sales increased by
approximately 60%, reaching 63% of total turnover. This sustained growth has
been recognised with a King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade for
Outstanding Short-Term Growth.
Commenting on the award, Chris Tullett, Founder of CTE Advanced
Technologies, said:
“To receive a King’s Award for International Trade is a tremendous honour and
a significant milestone for our entire team. Our business has always been based
on proving capability through quality and building long-term partnerships with
customers who operate at the very highest level. This award recognises not only
our export growth, but the consistency, reliability and commitment required to
support world-class engineering programmes year after year.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise are the UK’s most prestigious business awards,
recognising outstanding achievement in international trade, innovation,
sustainable development and promoting opportunity. The award is valid for five
years.
