Aardman Co-Founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton Knighted in King's Birthday Honours

“We both feel it is an extraordinary privilege and an honour – as well as a complete and utter surprise – to be recognised in this way. Whilst the honour is being awarded to us as individuals, it really reflects on Aardman as a company. Over 50 years we have worked with hundreds, if not thousands, of brilliant people whose dedication, talent and skills have contributed to making Aardman a globally recognised and multi-award-winning studio, and one regarded by many as a national treasure here in the UK. As we accept these awards, we humbly bow and salute all of those who have joined us on this extraordinary journey.”
