A King's Award for International Trade

June 12, 2024

We are thrilled to announce that Buttonfix Limited has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade 2024. This builds on our success in 2020, when we received a Queen's Award for Enterprise in Innovation.

Buttonfix Limited is one of only 252 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise this year. Over the last three years, exports have consistently generated over 40% of our total sales. We have sold products in 34 countries and the USA is now our most significant market after the UK. Our thanks go to all our stockists around the globe who have helped us to receive this accolade.

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.
