“At Hatch, we bring an entrepreneurial mindset and deep expertise to solve complex global challenges”
Hatch has been recognised with a 2026 King’s Award for Enterprise for leadership in helping international clients solve some of the world’s toughest challenges. In today’s global economy, international trade success depends on credibility as much as capability. Markets are becoming more complex and risk-aware. UK organisations that succeed internationally do so by earning trust through consistent delivery, principled leadership, and a focus on long-term outcomes. The King’s Awards for Enterprise are the UK’s most prestigious business honour – a mark of excellence that signals trust with clients, partners and governments worldwide. Hatch earned this recognition for sustained success in helping clients navigate technical complexity, regulatory environments and risk in projects. “International trade today depends on trust as much as technical capability,” says John Bianchini, Chair and CEO of Hatch. “At Hatch, we describe ourselves as a professional services firm with engineering at our core. We bring an entrepreneurial mindset and deep expertise to solve complex global challenges, with a clear focus on long term outcomes. This honour recognises the responsibility we take for the work we deliver wherever we operate.” Delivering complex projects For more than 70 years, Hatch has supported clients across the metals, energy and infrastructure sectors, working on technically complex projects that have long-term impact
on public interest. International collaboration is central to its business model. Multidisciplinary teams work across regions, sharing expertise to help clients move projects from concept through delivery and operation. This approach allows the company to think globally while acting locally. “Across Europe, our teams connect local insight with global capability to support clients navigating complexity and change,” says Randy Broderick, Regional Managing Director, Europe. “Winning a King’s Award recognises the strength of that collaboration and the consistency our people bring to delivering complex projects across borders.” Exceptional, diverse teams Hatch’s operations in the UK began in 1989 and, for many years, were focused on helping global clients in the natural resources sectors, many of whom are headquartered in the UK. Over time, the company expanded its presence and capabilities across the UK and Europe, broadening work to include metals, energy, infrastructure, and advisory services. Today, Hatch supports projects ranging from community scale master planning to major energy and infrastructure developments, bringing UK based expertise to clients operating in complex international markets. “From the UK, our teams have supported
international clients for decades, often behind the scenes,” says Jonathan Lee, Regional Director, UK. “More recently, we’ve also deepened our work here at home, partnering with governments, industry, and communities to deliver positive, lasting outcomes. The King’s Award is a proud moment for our UK team and a strong endorsement of how we work. “As an employee-owned business with a deliberately flat structure, we give our people the trust and latitude to pursue the right outcomes for clients. That sense of ownership, combined with a deeply collaborative culture, is what enables us to remain agile, innovative, and effective in a world that is constantly evolving.” As governments and industry focus on infrastructure renewal, energy transition, and responsible resource development, Hatch continues to support clients with practical, sustainable solutions designed to last. The King’s Award reinforces its role as a partner with exceptional, diverse teams who apply deep technical and project knowledge to solving the world’s toughest challenges.
