Awards For Outstanding UK Business
The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the UK's most prestigious Awards for business performance. They recognise and reward outstanding achievement by UK companies. They are presented in three separate categories:
- International Trade - recognising companies that have demonstrated growth in overseas earnings.
- Innovation - recognising companies that have demonstrated commercial success through innovative products or services.
- Sustainable Development - recognising companies that have integrated environmental, social, economic and management aspects of sustainable development into their business.
The Awards are made each year by The Queen, on the advice of the Prime Minister, who is assisted by an Advisory Committee that includes representatives of Government, industry and commerce, and the trade unions.
The Queen normally invites members of each winning business unit to an evening Reception at Buckingham Palace.
At a separate ceremony, held later at the winner's premises, a presentation is made by The Queen's representative, the Lord Lieutenant of the County.
Business units must be able to demonstrate substantial growth in overseas earnings and commercial success, to levels that are outstanding for the goods or services concerned and for the size of the applicant's operations. Businesses may apply under the following criteria:
Outstanding achievement in international trade, sustained over not less than three years.
or Continuous achievement in international trade, sustained over not less than six years.
The Queen's Awards for Enterprise: International Trade 2009 HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN has been graciously pleased to confer Her Awards in 2009 upon the following business units in recognition of their outstanding achievements in International Trade:
