About the King's Awards for Enterprise

The King's Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen's Awards for

businesses. The Awards programme, now in its 59th year, is the most
prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to
use the esteemed King's Awards Emblem for the next five years.
