At the heart of the Midlands King’s Awards Network Launch are the outstanding Midlands businesses that have received the King’s Award for Enterprise. Our region is extremely proud to be home to more of these recipients over the last five years than any other UK region outside London and the South East, with businesses of all sizes and sectors achieving success.

The Midlands Engine Partnership recognises that as recipients of the highest accolade to be bestowed on a UK business, these pioneers are integral to our regional economy with a wealth of talent, energy and expertise that could be transformative in driving inclusive growth and prosperity across the Midlands.

Now, the inaugural Launch of the Midlands King’s Awards Network will channel the scale and significance of this success through impactful collaboration as we bring together the region’s King’s Awards recipients with Midlands Lord Lieutenants, Midlands Engine partners and aspiring recipients for the first time. I hope you can join us to share in this unique opportunity.
