Jim Scott, co-founder and Managing Director of Artemis Aerospace, said: “This is a defining moment in the history of Artemis Aerospace. Having started the business with Deborah Scott [Finance Director of Artemis Aerospace] more than 25 years ago from our spare bedroom, we have worked tirelessly to shape the business into the global success it is today.

"This prestigious award recognises everything we and our much-valued staff have done to create a business that competes on the world stage at every level.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.

Applications for King’s Awards for Enterprise 2026 open on 6th May 2025.
