King's Awards for Enterprise

Passionate about quality

The King's Awards for Enterprise (formerly The Queen's Award) is the most prestigious business award in the United Kingdom. It recognises outstanding achievement by British businesses, and there is no higher mark of excellence.

This accolade is for ambition, rigour and a refusal to settle for "good enough" in meeting customers' expectations, exactly our approach on every new project. We want this to exemplify the standard our customers can expect when they choose us, and what they experience when working with us.

What it means for our customers

Choosing a construction partner is a decision about trust. The King's Award gives that decision an independent answer.

When you appoint Willmott Dixon, you appoint a contractor recognised at the very highest level, by an award judged against the most exacting business standards in the country, for operating to those standards consistently, year after year. The same discipline that earns national recognition is the discipline we bring to planning, building and handing over every project. It is why customers trust us to deliver brilliant buildings, working with a contractor that's measured, and proven, against the UK's highest business honour.

Our record

Five King's and Queen's Awards for Enterprise since 2014:

Three awards for Sustainable Development and two for Promoting Opportunity, recognition across both environmental leadership and social value that only a handful of UK businesses have achieved.

Pushing ourselves to ever higher standards

These awards recognise our leadership on sustainability and the life-changing social value we create in communities. But they say something bigger about how we operate: that we hold ourselves to a standard most businesses never reach, and that we sustain it.

That same standard shapes every project we deliver. It is the reason a customer can expect the same care, the same quality and the same certainty of outcome on their building as the qualities that have earned us national recognition five times over.

"The King's Awards for Enterprise are the pre-eminent way to recognise outstanding achievements by UK businesses, and it's very humbling that this award has been bestowed on Willmott Dixon for a fifth time."
