Outstanding businesses from the engineering sector are being urged to act now for the chance to win the UK's ultimate business accolade - a Queen's Award for Enterprise.
Outstanding businesses from the engineering sector are being urged to act now for the chance to win the UK's ultimate business accolade - a Queen's Award for Enterprise.
The official "call for entries" for the 2005 Queen's Awards goes out this month.
Throughout June, successful businesses across the UK will be receiving invitations to apply for an award in any of three categories - International Trade, Innovation or Sustainable Development.
The deadline for applications is midnight on 31st October 2004.
Digby Jones, Director General of the CBI, says all successful businesses, regardless of size or sector, should consider applying for an award: "The Queen's Awards play a vital role in championing exceptional achievements and advances in all areas of British business".
"I believe the Queen's Awards for Enterprise are something all UK companies should aspire towards".
"It's a marvellous scheme for encouraging and rewarding business success and best practice".
Alongside the prestige of winning and a reception at Buckingham Palace, a Queen's Award brings with it genuine business benefits - notably extensive publicity, boosts to staff morale and very often, increased business.
According to recent research amongst past winners 90% felt that winning a Queen's Award had brought their company added commercial value.
Manufacturing firm Dyson is one company that knows all about the value of The Queen's Awards.
It won an Award for Innovation in 2003.
James Dyson, comments: "Winning the innovation award was a great achievement for everyone at Dyson.
It proved and recognised our commitment to R and D".
"Dyson is always working to make better, different products for the household".
"We started with vacuum cleaners that didn't lose suction, went on to two-drum washing machines, and are currently developing our own ultra-high-speed motor".
"We're passionate about ongoing innovation and proud that The Queen's Award reflects this".
The Queen's Awards are free to enter and open to any UK-based company with two or more people.
There is no set number of awards made each year - each application is judged rigorously on its individual merits.
Applications submitted up to 2 months before the deadline can be checked by The Queen's Awards Office, and if necessary, further information requested to enhance applications.
Unsuccessful entrants receive written feedback on their application, helping companies identify areas for improvement if they are to achieve a Queen's Award in the future.
