The Queen's Awards for Enterprise is an awards programme aimed at rewarding British businesses and other organisations who excel at international trade, innovation or sustainable development. It represents the very highest and most prestigious official UK awards for British businesses. 220 British businesses received the award this year. The Sustainable Development category, however, only contains 19 winners nationally, so we’re incredibly proud to be of that number.
Since setting up Ignition up in 2007, we’ve sought to do things differently – more responsibly, more thoughtfully, and with greater environmental care. Sustainability is not, of course, our core business, but has nonetheless been an integral part of our practice, process and ethics from the outset and has been contributed to over the years by every member of our team in the UK and the US – and by cooperating with our forward-thinking clients, teamwork partners and suppliers.
Our people-management endeavours have been rewarded in recent years with UK’s Best Workplaces and MM&M Best Places to Work Awards in the US, whilst our commitment to the highest possible quality of work has been rewarded with three ISO standards. The Queen’s Award for Enterprise is the crowning glory, however.
We look forward to going to Buckingham Palace in the summer in celebration of the award and to the visit of the Lord Lieutenant to our offices for the official presentation. We shall wear this honour with great pride and with further commitment to a sustainable future for all.
