Record number of Warwickshire winners of King's Awards for Enterprise 2024
A record eight King's Awards for Enterprise have been awarded to Warwickshire businesses this year.
The King's Awards for Enterprise recognise business excellence across four different categories - Innovation, International Trade, Promoting Opportunity and Sustainable Development - with recipients permitted to fly the King's Awards flag at their main office and use the emblem on their marketing material for five years.
His Majesty's Lord Lieutenant for Warwickshire, Tim Cox, who will present the awards to each business during the year, said: "Warwickshire is renowned for its entrepreneurial achievements and there is no greater showcase for it than The King's Awards for Enterprise. Eight awards within the same year is a record number for Warwickshire - the County's average over the last ten years has been two per year, so this is a huge achievement.
"These Awards are a great boost to the local economy and show our ability to attract and sustain successful companies which in turn support our local communities. I congratulate each business for their hard work and commitment over the last year and I wish them every success for the future.
"As we look towards the next year of The King’s Awards for Enterprise, I encourage as many Warwickshire businesses as possible to consider applying. These awards are the highest accolade available to UK businesses and offer unparalleled prestige, exposure and credibility to successful companies.”
