Focus SB's managing director Gary Stevens met King Charles in June to celebrate winning the award.
Mr Stevens said: “It’s a huge honour for an SME based in Hastings to have the recognition of a King’s Award, one of the most prestigious awards a company can be bestowed."
He added: "Meeting the King at Buckingham Palace and then to have a visit from Anne, The Princess Royal is a huge boost and reward for every single employee at Focus SB."
