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.
Employing 55 people across the globe, London-based events agency emc3 started in 1999 as a high-level concierge service in Notting Hill. In the years that have followed, they have grown and become one of the leading events agencies, winning numerous industry awards for their work in producing game-changing experiences powered by strategy, content and creativity, underpinned by their commitment to a sustainable future for events. Sustainability is at the core of emc3’s operations, with a deep commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and comprehensive sustainability practices that go beyond environmental factors, to look at holistic sustainability. These values are not just principles they uphold but are fundamental criteria for the brands they choose to work with. As part of this, the agency only partners with those who share their dedication to making a difference, believing that true impact is achieved when businesses proactively invest in creating positive change.
