David Moore, head of The Queen's Awards Office said: "We know there are a lot of talented firms out there, and we want them to come forward and receive the recognition they deserve.
"Companies from the engineering sector have done particularly well in this year's Awards - let's build on that success for next year and showcase the UK's world-beating talent in this area."

The minimum requirements are that entrants employ at least two people, be based in the UK and be high achievers in their field.
There is no limit to the number of Awards that can be made in any year, though the standard required to win is high.
The right to use the coveted Queens Awards Emblem for five years is one of the direct benefits enjoyed by winners.
The prestige of being associated with the Queen's Awards also provides them with a valuable promotional and marketing tool in an increasingly competitive domes and global economy.
Even entrants who do not win receive a feedback report detailing the strengths and weaknesses of their application, helping them plan for future Award entries.
The deadline for next year's Awards is 31 October 2001.

The winners of the 2002 Queen's Awards for Enterprise will be announced on 21 April, 2002 - The Queen's personal birthday.
In the following months, each winner will receive the Award at their own premises from the Lord Lieutenant.
There is also a special reception at Buckingham Palace, hosted by The Queen, for three representatives from each winning business.
