Ideal Heating has been named a recipient of The King’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category.
This is Ideal’s fourth King’s/Queen’s Award, having previously received three Queen’s Awards – for Innovation in 2013, and for both Innovation and International Trade in 2019.
CEO Adam Foy (pictured) said: “Receiving The King’s Award for Enterprise is a great honour and an incredibly proud moment for us. As a major UK manufacturer with a proud history and heritage, we’re delighted to receive this royal recognition for how we’re shaping the transition to heat pumps across the UK. The King’s Award reflects the scale of ambition and commitment our team has shown in transforming not just our own business, but in leading the evolution of the wider UK heating industry.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise has honoured more than 8,000 companies since its inception in 1965. Winners hold the award for five years and pass a robust assessment process judged by experts from industry, academia, the voluntary sector and senior Whitehall officials. Recipients are recommended by the Prime Minister and approved by His Majesty The King.
Jim Dick OBE, the Lord Lieutenant of the East Riding of Yorkshire, said: “I am delighted to congratulate Ideal Heating, based in Hull, on receiving The King’s Award for Enterprise in the Innovation category.
“This latest honour, following the company’s success in winning the award on three previous occasions, in 2013 and twice in 2019, recognises Ideal Heating’s continued commitment to innovation, excellence and growth.
“It reflects the strength of Hull as a centre for forward‑thinking manufacturing. Ideal Heating’s sustained success is richly deserved and is something of which the whole region can be proud.”
