Queen's Award for Enterprise: Outstanding Contribution to International Trade

 

Samarkand Group plc, the cross-border eCommerce technology, services and consumer brand group, is delighted to announce that it has been selected as one of 226 organisations nationally, to be recognised with a prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise, in acknowledgement of its outstanding contribution to International Trade.

 

Now in its 56th year, the Queen's Awards for Enterprise are the most respected business awards for UK businesses, recognising and celebrating business excellence across the UK. The awards highlight achievements in the fields of Innovation, International Trade, Sustainable Development and Promoting Opportunity (through social mobility).

 

Her Majesty the Queen has personally approved the Prime Minister's recommendation that Samarkand be awarded the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise, for demonstrating outstanding success in international trade.  Samarkand will be able to use the esteemed Queen's Awards Emblem for the next five years

 

 

David Hampstead, CEO of Samarkand Group plc commented: "We are honoured to have been awarded an accolade as prestigious as the Queen's Award, especially in light of the significant barriers we have had to navigate over the past couple of years in the face of the pandemic. This achievement is testament to the resilience, determination and hard work that everyone involved at Samarkand has demonstrated through these unique times in order to ensure that progress continues to be made against our growth objectives.

 

We are proud of all we have achieved and to be recognised in such a way demonstrates the potential of our solutions and the market in which we operate. The Award validates our position as leaders in cross-border eCommerce solutions for the Chinese market, the largest in the world and is an incredible achievement for our Group.
