JDR Cable Systems Ltd. has been included in the list of companies to be granted a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2010. This special award is in recognition of the company’s success in International Trade for the period from April 2006 to March 2009. The award was recommended by the Prime Minister and approved by Her Majesty the Queen.


Over the past five years JDR has made significant investments in new people, facilities and equipment to manufacture larger and longer subsea umbilicals and power cables for worldwide oil & gas projects. New production facilities at deepwater quayside locations in Sattahip, Thailand, and Hartlepool, England have enabled the company to deliver complex systems to a wide range of overseas projects. Service centres in Houston, Texas, and Bergen, Norway have added to the company’s service capability. The Littleport, UK factory provides complete workover control umbilical and reeler packages to the majority of deepwater oil & gas projects worldwide. The company opened its purpose-built factory in Hartlepool in July 2009 and is already expanding into adjacent buildings and adding larger machinery to serve the growing offshore renewable energy market.

Patrick Phelan, Managing Director of JDR Cable Systems, commented.

“This is a highly prestigious award which places the company amongst the most successful of UK businesses. It is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of management and staff alike and is an achievement of which we are all very proud.”

“Winning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise clearly demonstrates our current pre-eminence within our core market sectors. Through innovation and constant improvement across the various facets of our business, we will continue to build on our market-leading position.”
