The inspirational Hertfordshire Awards were first launched in 2021 to spotlight and subsequently celebrate the expertise, achievements and contributions of individuals and companies to the local community. The awards themselves enable Hertfordshire businesses to showcase their performance and extraordinary achievements to customers, clients, suppliers and the local community as a whole.

We applied for the International Trade Excellence category and are pleased to announce that we made it to the finalists! Throughout COVID-19 we have not only survived but actually thrived due to our export and e-commerce structure! Mayflower Modeling has always been proud of our global outreach, supplying models to 85 countries worldwide.

This is achieved through a constant stream of content published online, such as social media posts, blogs and case studies. In addition, our excellent attention to detail means that the vessels themselves are always of the best quality. Customer service is efficient and reliable, so customers are able to communicate with us and track the progress of their orders, which means we can export to a global clientele, as previously mentioned.

One of the key projects that helped us reach this stage in the inspirational Hertfordshire Awards was the work we undertook for the Oman Intergenerational Museum. The national museum itself is a new build that celebrates the birth of Oman as a nation and its rich heritage. It is hoped that the museum will celebrate human aspirations and help inspire generations of Omanis to learn about their history!

Working for the Intergenerational Museum was a great honor for us. We worked closely with maritime experts and museum representatives to ensure the accuracy of each model was perfect. In total, we built nine models for the museum:

Gems of Muscat

imam (Islam) (loanword)

Baghlazuri (name)

sultana (loanword)

Ship model 1 (UK)

Ship model 2 (Netherlands)

Ship model 3 (Portuguese)

Bombay Grapple

Omani ship Batil

Some of these models are close to 2,000 mm in length, so the level of detail needs to be exceptional. These three more generic models represent the historical links between Oman and other European countries and it is an honor to be able to display our models in such a prestigious location.

Other extraordinary projects have been undertaken, and one currently in progress is our rendition of the customized 1797 HMS Neptune. It will be shipped to the United States. For this purpose, we have contacted our North American representative. So far, it is a great reflection of the heritage of the ship. It has been a steady and careful process, but good progress is still being made in ensuring the accuracy of this model. The hulls are strong and wide and they make an excellent base for the rest of the ship model. We are all very much looking forward to the final product and are confident that it will be very satisfactory!

We are honored to have made it this far in the inspirational Hertfordshire Awards and are eagerly looking forward to the ceremony in early June! Our international standards and outreach services have helped us create this excellent platform and we are excited to see where it goes in the future.
