The Queen's Awards recognise outstanding achievements by companies across the UK focusing on international trade, innovation and sustainable development.
Since the Awards began in 1966, more than 5,000 businesses from across the UK have received this prestigious award.
Business secretary Sajid Javid said: "There were over 140 recipients of a Queen's Award for this year, and that is a demonstration of the quality, diversity and tenacity of UK businesses. Companies that are growing, innovating and championing UK business overseas deserve the recognition that these awards bestow; they demonstrate that innovative and entrepreneurial spirit is well and truly present in British industry. I'm delighted that over 140 UK businesses have been successful in 2015, and I hope to see that number rise still further in the years to come."
The deadline for entries for the 2016 awards is 30 September 2015. For more information visit https://queensawards.bis.gov.uk
