They are bestowed each year by Her Majesty The Queen in recognition of the winners' outstanding achievements. There are three categories: Innovation, International Trade and Sustainable Development.

Winning an Award can provide global recognition that your company is outstanding in its field, as well as boosting staff morale and could even lead to an increase in sales. All winners will be invited to a reception with Her Majesty The Queen at Buckingham Palace.

Entry is free and open to all UK-based companies employing a minimum of two

full-time people or equivalent. The closing date is 30 September 2014.
