Aspire Defence family honoured with King’s Coronation Medals 

Staff from Aspire Defence and its subcontractors have been awarded the King’s Coronation Medal in recognition of their outstanding support to ensure the success of the historic Coronation of King Charles III in May 2023.

Members of Aspire Defence Limited and Aspire Defence Services Limited, alongside colleagues from Knights Tailoring, Sodexo, Aramark and Vinci were formally recognised at a ceremony in London for their exceptional commitment and professionalism in supporting the delivery of the event.

Their behind-the-scenes contributions were instrumental in ensuring the Coronation was conducted safely, seamlessly, and with the dignity and ceremonial splendour befitting such a significant national occasion watched by millions at home and internationally.

Chief Executive of Aspire Defence Limited Allan Thomson, who was among the recipients, said:

“It is an immense honour to receive the King’s Coronation Medal. This recognition is deeply appreciated: not only personally, but as a reflection of the dedication and hard work of everyone at Aspire Defence.

“We take pride in our role supporting and improving the lives of those who serve, and we were equally proud to play our part in bringing the historic occasion of the King’s Coronation to life.”
