The King’s Award for Enterprise, formerly known as the Queen’s Award, is one of the most coveted accolades for UK businesses. This latest honor in International Trade follows Impact Subsea’s previous success in winning the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation in 2021, highlighting the company’s consistent commitment to excellence and growth.
The King’s Awards for Enterprise are awarded annually by His Majesty The King and celebrate outstanding achievements by UK businesses in the categories of Innovation, International Trade, Sustainable Development, and Promoting Opportunity through social mobility.
Impact Subsea’s recognition in the International Trade category reflects its exceptional success in expanding its global footprint and supporting the UK’s international trade efforts.
