Scottish firms claim Queen’s Awards
The Herald
Dynamic Scottish companies have bagged 12 of this year’s Queen’s Awards for Enterprise.
Eight of the winners are independent companies, the others having parents in Spain, France, Italy and Norway.
“The standard of applications has been extremely high this year with 20% of companies applying receiving awards, double last year’s amount,” say the organisers.
The winners can expect a company visit by a royal representative, a crystal bowl, and an invitation to Buckingham Palace in July.
They can also use The Queen’s Award emblem for a period of five years.
