Hosted by St Eval Candle Company (a 2021 Queen’s Award for Enterprise winner), Teagle Machinery, Made for Life Organics and Lynher Dairies were congratulated at the event by Colonel Sir Edward Bolitho, Lord Lieutenant of Cornwall, His Majesty The King’s representative in Cornwall.

Colonel Sir Edward Bolitho said: “Cornwall is leading the way in so many areas, from innovation and exporting to sustainability. These three businesses are truly exceptional and represent the very best in the UK. They are an inspiration and I am delighted to have the pleasure of congratulating them on their outstanding success and to thank them for the invaluable contribution they make to the prosperity of Cornwall.”

Over 60 representatives from across Cornwall’s business community also joined the event to learn more about the UK’s most prestigious business awards which reward achievements in innovation, international trade, sustainable development and social mobility.

Nominations for the 2025 edition of the King’s Award for Enterprise are open until 12th September. Eligible businesses can apply for one or more categories and will undergo a robust assessment  process, judged by experts from industry, academia, the voluntary sector and senior officials in Whitehall. The King’s Awards for Enterprise recipients are recommended by the Prime Minister.
