Entries sought for Queen's Award for Enterprise

Entries are still being sought for the 2003 Queen's Award for Enterprise.

The deadline for the Queen’s Award for Enterprise 2003 is fast approaching and entries must be received by midnight on 31 October 2002.

Any UK-based business employing at least two people can enter the Queen’s Awards, provided the company can demonstrate outstanding achievements in their field.

There is no limit to the number of Awards made each year. It costs nothing to enter, but the value of winning a Queen’s Award can be immense.

Awards are made in three broad categories: International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development. Benefits of winning include significant publicity and the right to use The Award Emblem as an influential 'marque of success' for five years.

Businesses interested in entering The Awards should visit www.queensawards.org.uk or call 0870 513 4486 for further information.
