LA International is an award-winning HMG- approved ICT recruitment and project solutions consultancy and is the UK’s leading supplier of security cleared contract and permanent ICT resource to Her Majesty’s Government. It is proud to be honoured with a second consecutive Queen’s Award for International Trade following its previous win in 2015. As a market leader within the UK government, security and defence space, LA International’s well established international division was able to draw on its UK capability and, with an innovative and clear growth strategy, was able to apply this expertise to the international market and achieve significant and sustained growth. Today, LA International is recognised as Europe’s foremost supplier of cyber, cloud, software development, IT infrastructure, testing and project/programme management expertise to organisations where security is of paramount importance. International growth Continued growth has resulted in the significant expansion of the company’s overseas customer base and international operations over a sustained period. In particular, in August 2018 it became the only UK company selected as one of 10 prime contractors to NATO for the supply of all IT and professional services across NATO programmes. Commenting on the award, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paul Lukic said: “I am
delighted and honoured that LA International has again received this internationally recognised and highly sought after award for a second consecutive five-year term in recognition of our contribution to flying the flag of British enterprise. “We pay tribute to the role played by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh in originally establishing Her Majesty’s Awards in 1965, which led to the creation of the Queen’s Award to Industry. The Board of Directors are privileged to accept this award on behalf of LA International and all of our staff who, with sustained effort, have continued to drive the business forward and achieve our targeted expansion.” At the forefront of innovation Established in 1982, and with a turnover in excess of £250 million, LA International is now the largest specialist ICT recruitment and project solutions consultancy delivering recruitment, managed services and project solutions.
