This prestigious award signifies a company’s exceptional achievement in innovation, as recognised by the British monarchy. The Queen’s Award emblem, a symbol of royal approval, carries a strong sense of prestige and distinction. Its presence on a company’s materials immediately communicates a commitment to groundbreaking ideas, technological advancements, and a drive to push boundaries in the business world. The words “Queen’s Award for Innovation” clearly articulate the nature of the award and the company’s innovative accomplishments, serving as a testament to their dedication to excellence and forward-thinking practices. The awards were instituted in 1965 by Royal Warrant and called The Queen’s Award to Industry. In 1999, the scheme became the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise with International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development as the categories. In 2017, a fourth category was introduced, Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility). Specifically for British businesses, they are the highest official UK awards for industry.

In 2019, we were privileged to be selected as a winner of the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the category of Innovation. The honour remains bestowed upon the company for five years. It recognises our outstanding contribution to the facilities management industry and is the first time a maintenance company has been credited for innovation in 10 years. We were commended for our transformative technology-led solution, as well as our advanced systems and processes, things of which we are very proud.
