The King's Award

In May we received the ultimate five-star review for British companies - a King’s Award for Enterprise, in the area of Innovation. It comes with some great swag - the coveted digital logo, a certificate, a flag, a crystal trophy to put on the shelf alongside our two Queen’s Awards - but more important than the fine china is the humbling recognition of how far a simple idea and a strong set of core values has brought us.?
