The reception is a unique opportunity for two members of each winning company to meet The Queen and eight other Members of the Royal Family. These prestigious Awards are announced annually on 21st April, The Queen's birthday.
The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the UK's most prestigious corporate Award for business excellence. They recognise the achievement of the successful business unit as a whole - management and employees - working as a team. They are granted in three categories: International Trade (recognising an outstanding or continuous achievement in overseas earnings); Innovation (for commercially successful and innovative products or services); and Sustainable Development (covering commercially successful products and services and approaches to management that have major benefits for the environment, society and the UK economy).
