'''The Queen's Awards for Enterprise''' is an awards programme for [[United Kingdom|British]] businesses and other organizations who excel at international trade, innovation or sustainable development. They are the highest official UK awards for British businesses. The scheme was established as '''The Queen's Award to Industry''' by a [[Royal warrant (document)|royal warrant]] of 30 November 1965, and individual categories have been known in the past as '''The Queen's Awards for Export, Export Achievement, Technology, Technological Achievement''' and '''Environmental Achievement'''. The scheme also includes an award for individuals, '''[[The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion]]'''.
'''The King's Awards for Enterprise''', previously known as '''The Queen's Award for Enterprise''', is an awards programme for British businesses and other organizations who excel at international trade, innovation, sustainable development or promoting opportunity (through social mobility). They are the highest official UK awards for British businesses.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/all-notices/content/101044 | title=The Queen's Awards for Enterprise | work=[[The London Gazette|The Gazette]] | location=UK | access-date=25 March 2020 }}</ref> The scheme was established as '''The Queen's Award to Industry''' by a [[Royal warrant (document)|royal warrant]] of 30 November 1965, and awards are given for outstanding achievement by UK businesses in the categories of innovation, international trade, sustainable development and promoting opportunity through social mobility.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Queen's Awards for Enterprise|url=https://www.gov.uk/queens-awards-for-enterprise|access-date=2021-09-14|website=GOV.UK|language=en}}</ref>

Each award is valid for five years: recipients are invited to a royal reception and are presented with the award at their company premises by one of the King's representatives, a [[Lord-lieutenant]]. Recipients are also able to fly the King's Awards flag at their main office, and use the emblem on marketing materials such as packaging and adverts.


==History==
==History==
Every May 6, the Anniversary of the Coronation of King Charles III, winners of the King's Awards for Enterprise are officially announced in a special ''[[London Gazette|Gazette]]'' supplement. The Queen's Award to Industry, the scheme's original title, was instituted by Royal Warrant in 1965. It became the Queen's Awards for Export and Technology in 1975, with Environmental Achievement added in 1992. In 1999, the scheme became the Queen's Awards for Enterprise, with International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development as the categories. In 2017, a fourth category was introduced, Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility). From 2005 individuals were also recognised with the Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion; that Awards was rested in 2017. In February 2023 the Awards were renamed to The King’s Award for Enterprise.<ref>{{Cite web |title=King Charles III continues Queen Elizabeth’s legacy by giving His Majesty’s name to prestigious awards |url=https://www.gov.uk/government/news/king-charles-iii-continues-queen-elizabeths-legacy-by-giving-his-majestys-name-to-prestigious-awards |access-date=2024-06-20 |website=GOV.UK |language=en}}</ref>
''The Queen's Award to Industry'', the scheme's original title, was instituted by [[Royal warrant (document)|Royal Warrant]] in 1965, and first awarded in 1966, and it was only offered to organizations. The awards were always listed in the [[London Gazette]] as "for export achievement", "for technological innovation", or both, though there were no formal classes. The recommendations of a review in 1975 led to the scheme becoming ''The Queen's Awards for Export and Technology'', with separate awards for outstanding achievement in each of the two fields. ''The Queen's Award for Environmental Achievement'' was added in 1992.<ref>{{London Gazette|issue=52936|page=9285|date=1 June 1992}}</ref> Following a review in 1999, chaired by [[Charles, Prince of Wales]], the three separate Awards were replaced and are now known generically as ''The Queen's Awards for Enterprise'' with three broad-based categories for organizations: ''International Trade, Innovation'' and ''Sustainable Development''. In 2005, the individual award, ''[[The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion]] (QAEP)'' was added to the programme.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.queensawards.org.uk/individual/Home.html |title=Archived copy |accessdate=11 December 2015 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100209011436/http://www.queensawards.org.uk/individual/Home.html |archivedate=9 February 2010 }}retrieved on 30 October 2007.</ref> The award is for achievement in enterprise promotion, between five and ten awards have been made annually in addition to one lifetime achievement award and sometimes an honorary award (three such awards have been made as of 2015).

In 1990 a set of commemorative stamps featuring the Queens Awards for Enterprise was issued by the Post Office.

The King's Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen's Award for Enterprise, is an awards programme for British businesses and other organizations who excel at international trade, innovation, sustainable development or promoting opportunity (through social mobility). They are the highest official UK awards for British businesses.[1] The scheme was established as The Queen's Award to Industry by a royal warrant of 30 November 1965, and awards are given for outstanding achievement by UK businesses in the categories of innovation, international trade, sustainable development and promoting opportunity through social mobility.[2]

Each award is valid for five years: recipients are invited to a royal reception and are presented with the award at their company premises by one of the King's representatives, a Lord-lieutenant. Recipients are also able to fly the King's Awards flag at their main office, and use the emblem on marketing materials such as packaging and adverts.

History

[edit]

Every May 6, the Anniversary of the Coronation of King Charles III, winners of the King's Awards for Enterprise are officially announced in a special Gazette supplement. The Queen's Award to Industry, the scheme's original title, was instituted by Royal Warrant in 1965. It became the Queen's Awards for Export and Technology in 1975, with Environmental Achievement added in 1992. In 1999, the scheme became the Queen's Awards for Enterprise, with International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development as the categories. In 2017, a fourth category was introduced, Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility). From 2005 individuals were also recognised with the Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion; that Awards was rested in 2017. In February 2023 the Awards were renamed to The King’s Award for Enterprise.[3]
