Queen's Awards for Enterprise
Encyclopedia
The Queen's Awards for Enterprise is an awards programme for British
businesses and other organizations who excel at international trade, innovation or sustainable development. They are the highest official UK awards for British businesses. The scheme was established as The Queen's Award to Industry by a royal warrant
of 30 November 1965, and individual categories have been known in the past as The Queen's Awards for Export, Export Achievement, Technology, Technological Achievement and Environmental Achievement. The scheme also includes an award for individuals, The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion.
To be awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade, a company must show a substantial and sustained increase in export earnings over three consecutive 12-month periods, to a level which is outstanding for the products and services concerned, and for the size of the organisation. Different requirements are set for the award in the categories of Innovation and Sustainable Development. Awards are made on the advice of the Prime Minister
after examination of applications by an Advisory Committee composed of leading individuals from industry, commerce, trade unions and government. The awards are conferred by the reigning British monarch
on their birthday every year. For Elizabeth II
this is 21 April.

In 2005, the individual award, The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion (QAEP) was added to the programme.
In 1990 a set of commemorative stamps featuring the Queens Awards for Enterprise was issued by the Post Office.
