Guernsey businesses are being encouraged to put themselves forward for a prestigious award with royal recognition.
No business from Guernsey has ever won the Queen's Awards for Enterprise, now called the King's Awards.
Lieutenant Governor Richard Cripwell, the Guernsey Chamber of Commerce and the Committee for Economic Development said they were prompting local businesses to enter the 2025 awards.
The closing date for entries is 12 September.
Royal reception
Award-winners would be invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace and be able to fly the King's Awards flag for five years, as well as use the emblem on their marketing, they said.
Companies that have previously won have ranged in size from between two and several thousand employees.
The categories are: innovation, international trade, promoting opportunity (through social mobility) and sustainable development.
The Chamber of Commerce said it would support companies keen to enter.
Winners will be announced on 6 May 2025.
