A BROMSGROVE business is one of almost 200 organisations to receive a Kings Award for Enterprise in the latest round of winning recipients.
SEADA Technology Ltd, an audio-visual equipment supplier in Stoke Prior, is one of 197 businesses to receive the accolade.
The awards celebrate the achievements of leading businesses from across the UK and Channel Islands, recognising their vital role in growing the economy to improve lives.
Overall, 116 businesses have been recognised for International Trade, 46 for Innovation, 27 for Sustainable Development and 10 for Promoting Opportunity Through Social Mobility.
SEADA Technology was recognised for its contributions to international trade. Out of the 197 winning businesses 176 (88 per cent) are SMEs, and of those, 27 (14 per cent) are micro-businesses, with 10 employees or less.
Gareth Thomas, Minister for Services, Small Businesses and Exports said: “Congratulations to the recipients of this year’s King’s Awards for Enterprise, who all demonstrate the very best of British business talent.
“I wish them every success as they continue to grow, innovate and prosper, and commend the invaluable contributions they have already made to communities at home and abroad, helping to boost the UK economy.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise were previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise and were renamed two years ago to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses.
The Award programme, now in its 59th year, has awarded over 8,000 companies since its inception in 1965.
His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenants – The King’s representatives in each county – will be presenting the Awards to businesses locally throughout the year. One representative from each winning business will also be invited to a special Royal reception event.
