(Harrogate Advertiser Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) THE Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the UK's most prestigious awards for business performance.

They recognise and reward outstanding achievement by UK companies. They are presented in three separate categories: l International Trade - recognising companies that have demonstrated growth in overseas earnings.

l Innovation - recognising companies that have demonstrated commercial success through innovative products or services.

l Sustainable Development - recognising companies that have integrated environmental, social, economic and management aspects of sustainable development into their business.

The awards are made each year by The Queen, on the advice of the Prime Minister, who is assisted by an Advisory Committee that includes representatives of Government, industry and commerce, and the trade unions. Outstanding businesses from all sectors are currently being invited to apply for the 2007 awards. The deadline for this year's awards is October 31.



In 2006, 145 companies - large and small - won a Queen's Award. The main benefits of winning are recognition, publicity, staff motivation and use of The Queen's Award Emblem for five years - and, impressively, 92 per cent of the 137 award winners last year said they thought winning a Queen's Award had brought added commercial value to their firm, with 22 per cent noticing a significant increase in new business since winning the award.

"This is a chance for a company to be recognised as a leader in its market and one of the top businesses in the UK," says Stephen Brice, secretary to The Queen's Awards office.

"There is no limit to the number of awards available each year - if a company's achievements are deemed truly outstanding for its sector, then it stands a good chance of winning an award." Over the next few months, officials from The Queen's Awards office will be touring the country to promote the awards, supported by talks and presentations. They will also be inviting nominations for The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion - an award for individuals helping and inspiring tomorrow's entrepreneurs.

Judging is thorough, so apply only if you can answer a definite 'yes' to these questions: l Does your business have a UK base? l Does your business employ at least two full-time workers (or part-time equivalent)? l Do you believe your business is one of the best? l Can you demonstrate commercial success?
