The King’s Awards for Enterprise

The King’s Awards for Enterprise are recognised as the most prestigious business awards in the UK. 

The awards were first established in 1966 and since then over 7,000 companies have been awarded a King’s Award.

Winning an Award offers multiple benefits including global recognition for your company, boosting staff morale and increasing growth.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise recognise and encourage the outstanding achievements of UK businesses in the fields of:

  • innovation
  • international trade
  • sustainable development
  • promoting opportunity (through social mobility)

The UK is full of exciting and innovative businesses and the King’s Awards for Enterprise are a great way of celebrating their success.

Whether a small business with a great innovative product or service, or a larger company running an impressive social mobility programme, these awards are a prestigious way to recognise your contribution to enterprise.
