Our glorious chairman Nick Campling attended a reception with Gordon Brown, Prime Minister of the UK at a reception held at 10 Downing St last night.

We are delighted to announce that G7th has won the highest honour available to a UK company, the Queens Award for Enterprise 2009. The Queens Award is regarded as the corporate equivalent of a knighthood.
The award, which was announced by Buckingham Palace on April 21st, the Queen’s birthday, recognises the company’s contribution to International trade.
G7th export 80% of their capos to 30 countries around the world, and have more than doubled their exports in the last 3 years.
“G7th is a small company, but we have a great team around us”, comments MD Noel Sheehan. “We have the best designers and sales team, and are supported by a network of highly professional distributors and retailers. Guitarists around the world have also been hugely supportive, helping us spread the word better than advertising alone ever could. Without doubt this award reflects the superb efforts of everyone involved in the brand. I would like to thank the entire G7th extended family for their contribution. “
