The King’s Awards for Enterprise are the highest accolade for business success. Honouring outstanding UK companies, they encourage the development of British business.
In an attempt to help Rutland’s businesses obtain such awards the Lord-Lieutenant organises occasional meetings and training sessions. The event for 2005 will be on 8th April 2025 in Oakham Castle at 2pm. To download a booklet giving more information please follow this link. To book a free place please follow this QR code:
The awards recognise companies in three categories:
International trade
Demonstrating growth in overseas earnings.
Innovation
Proven commercial success through innovative products or services.
Sustainable development
Integrating environmental, social, economic and management aspects of sustainable development into their business.
The awards are made each year by HM The King, on the advice of the Prime Minister assisted by an Advisory Committee that includes representatives of Government, industry and commerce, and the trade unions. Winners enjoy a range of benefits, including worldwide recognition and extensive press coverage.
The deadline for entries is the 1st September each year. Winners are announced on The Queen’s personal birthday, 21st April. Successful winners and their nominees are informed shortly before the announcement and invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace, which takes place in July. The Lord-Lieutenant then presents the Awards to any successful businesses in Rutland.
