Kentec Electronics has been honoured with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise, becoming one of only 185 organisations nationally to receive the recognition in 2026.
The award reportedly acknowledges the company’s outstanding achievement in International Trade.
According to the company, the award recognises Kentec’s outstanding export growth over the last three years, in which time overseas sales have risen by 69%, with exports now responsible for over two-thirds (67%) of the firm’s turnover.
Kevin Swann, Managing Director at Kentec said: “As the most prestigious business award in the UK, it’s a great honour to win the King’s Award for Enterprise and it’s wonderful for everyone at Kentec to have their efforts recognised.
“Kentec now exports to over 90 countries around the world and we hope the recognition that the King’s Award for Enterprise brings will help open up even more markets.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise – previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise – were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty’s commitment to continuing the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II in celebrating exceptional UK businesses.
Now in its 60th year, the awards is said to remain the UK’s most prestigious business accolades.
Successful organisations may use the esteemed Emblem for the next five years, signalling excellence to customers, partners and global markets.
