Aspire Defence Services Limited & subcontractors honoured with a King’s Coronation Medal for support to historic 2023 Coronation Event

Aspire Defence Services Limited is proud to announce that several of its personnel have been awarded the prestigious King Charles III Coronation Medal, a distinguished honour typically awarded within military and emergency services, in recognition of their exceptional service and support during the historic Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on 6 May 2023.

The medal, issued to mark the first Coronation in over seventy years, was awarded to individuals who made a significant contribution to the planning and delivery of the national event. Members of Aspire Defence Services Limited, Knights Tailoring and Sodexo were among a select group of civilian personnel recognised for their professionalism, dedication, and behind-the-scenes work which ensured the success and security of this landmark occasion.

 

“We are incredibly proud of our staff who demonstrated unwavering commitment and excellence during this momentous occasion,” said Mark Carr, Managing Director of Aspire Defence Services Limited. “Their recognition through the Coronation Medal not only honours their individual efforts but also reflects the vital role civilian organisations play in supporting the military during national events of this scale and significance.”

 

The Coronation of King Charles III was attended by thousands in London and viewed by millions worldwide. The awarded personnel from Aspire Defence Services Limited, Knights Tailoring and Sodexo were instrumental in providing real-life support to enable an additional 1200 service personnel to attend rehearsals at Aldershot Garrison.  This included support to logistics, fire safety, additional feeding, accommodation arrangements, waste, laundry, tailoring services and communications in the form of a documentary filmed by its media team. All contributing to the seamless execution of this event.

 

Aspire Defence Services Limited congratulates all recipients of the King’s Coronation Medal and reaffirms our ongoing commitment to supporting our military customers.
