It is our pleasure to bring you this, the 2026 edition of The King’s Awards for Enterprise Magazine. We are delighted to extend our congratulations to every company honoured in the 2026 Awards. You have demonstrated excellence in the fields of International Trade, Innovation, Sustainability (formerly the Sustainable Development category), and Promoting Social Mobility on a global stage, and now join an elite list of King’s Award winners – and we salute your incredible achievements. This year, we also bring exciting news of the launch of a new award category, ‘Young Founder’. As we join our monarch in marking another year of challenges on the global stage, it is especially poignant to celebrate Britain’s best companies: those businesses, large and small, that lead the world in a number of fields. The King’s Awards continue to constitute the highest honour to be bestowed on a UK company, and are increasingly relevant in this fast-changing, highly competitive landscape where businesses of today need to be ever more resourceful. Any business carrying the King’s Awards logo receives a warm welcome internationally, and the relevance of the Awards has never been clearer. It was the late Duke of Edinburgh who helped launch the Awards in 1966, and we at The King’s Awards for Enterprise Magazine, as well as the hundreds of companies who’ve experienced the honour of receiving an Award since then, would like to mark the late Duke of Edinburgh’s contribution and recognise his, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s and The King’s steadfast support for the awards. We wish all of this year’s King’s Award holders continued success. Richard Stoppard Chief Executive Officer Nexus Media Events CONGRATULATIONS AND WELCOME
