The Queen’s Awards celebrate the best of British business and recognise companies who are making an outstanding contribution to enterprise.

Instituted by Royal Warrant in 1965 and considered the UK’s most prestigious business awards, this award boasts a specialist panel that judges each entry and makes a recommendation to the Prime Minister’s Advisory Committee. Her Majesty the Queen then decides the winners, who each receive an official grant of appointment and an invitation to a celebratory reception at Buckingham Palace.
