King’s Award for Enterprise

The King’s Award for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Award for Enterprise, was renamed last year to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognizing outstanding UK businesses.

The award program, currently in its 58th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Award Emblem for the next five years.
