Having received the King’ s Award for Enterprise – International Trade in 2024, we’ re keen to hear Stephen’ s reflections on such a monumental achievement.“ Since 2019, the world has gone through several‘ once in a generation’ events like Covid-19, Brexit, shipping crises, the war in Ukraine, a cost-ofliving crisis in the UK, as well as government changes in both the US and UK,” he shares.“ Navigating these events as a new business owner has been immensely challenging, so it was amazing to be recognized for the King’ s Award, the first award the business ever entered. The award is fantastic recognition for the AAS team and our combined efforts to cope with challenges and come out stronger.”
We want to establish a footprint in the UK, US, and Asia, as this combination will enable us to source and deliver to any of our customers quickly and efficiently
Thinking about the wider industry, Stephen explains how AAS is supporting the trade of critical metals.“ I have supported the UK Government and Critical Mineral Intelligence Centre in the assessment of metals and their supply chains for many years,” he explains.“ We were key contributors with Rolls-Royce on the aerospace alloys report and we manage a large metals recovery project for Rolls-Royce on a global basis, which has already returned millions in value.
