Cirrus wins Queen’s Award for Enterprise


A Chineham Park-based company has won the Queen’s Award. Cirrus Logistics, provider of decision support software for the supply chain industry, has received the Queen’s Award for Outstanding Performance in International Trade. The accolade is designed to honour exceptional companies in the UK for innovation, international trade and sustainable development.


Cirrus Logistics, which won the award for its significant growth in exports, was established in the late 1980s to provide easy- to-use decision support software solutions through applying advanced scheduling, simulation and optimisation techniques. The recent growth in sales of the company’s two major products – CLASS and SEABERTH – contributed to an overseas earnings growth of 148% between 2009 and 2011, with total turnover increasing by 92%.


CLASS is the leading warehouse layout design and simulation tool used extensively in logistics, retail and manufacturing sectors. SEABERTH is an operational berth scheduling tool for busy international ports, principally used in the oil and gas sectors – including at Qatar’s RasLaffan port, one of the largest in the world.


From 2009 to 2011, the company entered 11 new markets across Europe,


Asia and America; resulting in exports to 25 countries across five continents. Cirrus Logistics continues to invest in new markets to ensure future growth and opened an office in Chicago last year.


“We’re extremely proud to have received this award; it’s a great acknowledgement of our efforts, as a small business that has grown into overseas markets over the last three years. It’s also very rewarding to the team at Cirrus Logistics, who have been responsible for these impressive
