Leicestershire is home to some amazing businesses, large and small, across a broad range of industries. I am, therefore, delighted to see this local success recognised by His Majesty through the grant of no fewer than seven King's Award for Enterprise to Leicestershire-based companies.
The King's Award for Enterprise are the most pre-eminent business awards in the UK, if not the world, and these companies join a very select group of entities that have the honour of holding an Award.
Winning a King's Award for Enterprise requires the applicant to prove to an independent and distinguished panel of judges that they have exceeded a very high bar of achievement and I congratulate Leicestershire's class of 2024 on the hard work, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit they have all shown. I look forward to presenting each of them with their Awards in the coming months
