The recipients of The King’s Awards for Enterprise have been announced, celebrating the achievements of leading businesses from across the UK and Channel Islands and recognising their vital role in growing our economy to improve lives.
This year, 197 businesses representing a diverse range of sectors, have been recognised by His Majesty The King as among the best in the country, highlighting the ambition, ingenuity, and success of our diverse business community.
Of these, a total of 11 awards went to businesses in the Yorkshire and the Humber region. Eight were recognised in the International Trade category, one for Innovation, and two for Sustainable Development.
By supporting more people into work, developing new innovations and exporting the best Britain has to offer around the world, businesses like these are playing a key role in the Government’s mission to go further and faster for economic growth, to put more money in more working people’s pockets as part of our Plan for Change.
This year’s recipients from Yorkshire and the Humber included White Rose Education and Integra Buildings.
Gareth Thomas, Minister for Services, Small Businesses and Exports said: “There are some inspiring businesses from Yorkshire and the Humber recognised in this year’s King’s Awards for Enterprise: from White Rose Education’s success exporting educational resources around the world to Integra Building’s sustainable manufacturing methods.”
Previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, HM The King continues the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 59th year, has awarded over 8,000 companies since its inception in 1965.
Applications for The King’s Awards for Enterprise 2026 open on 6 May 2025. For more information, visit www.gov.uk/kings-awards-for-enterprise.
