On Tuesday 31 October, the Black Country Chamber of Commerce is hosting an introduction to the Queen's Awards for Enterprise.

This briefing in Wolverhampton is designed to give guidance to companies that are researching applications for the Queen's Awards for Enterprise. Recognised as the most prestigious business awards in the UK, the Awards were first established in 1966 and since then 6,876 companies have been awarded a Queen's Award.

Come along and discover how a Queen's Award could benefit your business!

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise recognise and encourage the outstanding achievements of UK businesses in the fields of Innovation, International Trade, Sustainable Development, and Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility).

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are open to applications from almost all businesses of all sizes and sectors throughout the country. So, whether yours is a small business with an innovative product or service, or a larger company running an impressive social mobility programme, these awards are a prestigious platform upon which to showcase your contribution to enterprise.

A Queen's Award is valid for five years, and successful organisations may fly the Queen's Award flag at their principal premises and are entitled to use the emblem on their stationery, advertising and goods. Plus there is an invitation to attend a Buckingham Palace reception!

So, even if you have applied before it is worth trying again, but make sure you come and find out some background to the application process from the Lord-Lieutenant's office and the experiences of past winners.
