The King’s Awards for Enterprise 

Dear members of the business community,

It is my pleasure as the Lord-Lieutenant of South Yorkshire to draw your attention to the King’s Awards for Enterprise. These awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of businesses nationwide, recognising their excellence in innovation, international trade, sustainable development, and promotion of opportunity.

Applications are now open, and we invite all eligible organisations to consider taking part, for the benefit of themselves and our County. 

The King’s Awards for Enterprise are the highest society-to-industry awards available in the United Kingdom, and are not easily won. We are searching for the very special organisations that can meet their stringent criteria and I appeal to you as business leaders, to study the attached document and assess your company. Even if you don’t qualify now, it is time well spent, as having an ongoing knowledge of the awards is important if you are to recognise what may be only a window of opportunity to apply for King’s Awards for Enterprise successfully.

For further details please review the attached PDF document. The Lieutenancy of South Yorkshire is here to encourage, support, and celebrate your King’s Award journey, and we would be delighted to help you navigate the initial stages of understanding.  We can also put you in touch with previous winners who are happy to share their experience.

With best wishes for your continued success, may it include a King’s Award!

Professor Dame Hilary A Chapman DBE RN

HM Lord-Lieutenant of South Yorkshire
