HM Lord Lieutenant of Shropshire, Mrs Anna Turner, is thrilled to congratulate three Shropshire based companies that have been successful in being awarded a King’s Award for Enterprise (KAE) 2026. 

The highly prestigious King’s Awards for Enterprise are for outstanding achievement by UK businesses in the categories of Innovation, International trade, Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity through social mobility.

This year’s Shropshire winners are in the categories of International Trade and Promoting Opportunity and are Thermserve Ltd (International Trade), Fowler and Gilbert Ltd (Promoting Opportunity), and Pave-Aways Ltd (Promoting Opportunity).
