Sambro International has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade, one of 252 organisations nationally to be recognised.

Sambro has been recognised for its excellence in International Trade with the King’s Award for Enterprise. A total of 257 awards are made, with five companies being recognised with two awards.

Paul Blackaby, Sambro CEO, said: “To be honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise is a milestone achievement for Sambro and the highest honour that we could receive for a UK business. We now join over 7,000 other UK enterprises who have received this recognition and it is a testament to everything that our team has worked so hard on recently. Sambro has a people-led approach to business, and I am beyond proud of everything our teams have accomplished in the UK, Amsterdam and Hong Kong.”

Paul continued: “The award recognises a period of growth for Sambro spanning the last three years and the expansion of our European business. We continue to focus on innovation, service provision and differentiation through strong design. Our award comes at a time when trade is challenging and is a resounding endorsement of how our business has evolved and will continue to change as we meet market demand. It is recognition of how we have continued to professionalise Sambro and all that we stand for – a UK-based business with strong international trade.”

The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed last year to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses.

The award programme, now in its 58th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.

Applications for King’s Awards for Enterprise 2025 open on the anniversary of His Majesty The King’s Coronation, 6th May 2024. For more information, visit www.gov.uk/kings- awards-for-enterprise.
