Queen’s Award for Jackloc
25th April 2017

Leicestershire-based JACKLOC creator of the original, award-winning universal window and door cable restrictor has been recognised with The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation.

Established over five decades ago, the awards have propelled UK businesses onto the world stage with an internationally-renowned symbol of excellence. Awards are presented by Her Majesty The Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister and an Advisory Committee, comprised of the Head of the Civil Service and representatives from government, the private sector and the Trade Unions.

“We are unbelievably honoured to receive the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category,” said Emma Wells, Founder and Director of Jackloc. “To be recognised by the highest honour in UK business, renowned across the world is an incredibly proud moment for Jackloc and is the result of our continued commitment to innovation and safety.”

Jackloc was founded in 2003 by Emma and her late sister Deborah, with their other sister Judith Burrows joining as a Director in 2008. The business is built on the design created by their father Derek Horne, who after speaking with a hotelier who came perilously close to a falling child, created a simple, yet effective window restrictor to dramatically reduce the risk. Jackloc is now recognised across the world as the leading window and door restrictor, improving safety for health authorities, educational institutes and commercial and residential developments.

Named after Deborah’s son Jack, Jackloc has grown to encompass a full range of window and door restrictors including push-and-turn, swivel/stud, folding and the original key-lockable Jackloc. Designed and manufactured in the UK and tested to BS EN standards, Jackloc is approved by The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in the City of New York and The Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council in the United Arab Emirates.
