Thames Valley
The creativity and technical ability spawned from the city of Oxford really came to the fore with no less than seven companies from the city being honoured.
Oxford BioDynamics was one of two businesses to pick up the award for Innovation, thanks to its novel epigenetic biomarker technology which delivers personalised medicine.
Oxford Instruments, whose Nanotechnology Tools hub is based at High Wycombe, was awarded for its Extreme product, a high-sensitivity, high-spatial resolution EDS detector for low energy X-rays.
Four more Oxford companies appeared in the list for International Trade, including Oxford PharmaGenesis (based at Tubney) which provides healthscience communications services to the healthcare industry, professional societies and patient groups.
Oxford Programs, trading as Oxford Royale Academy, was honoured for its one-to-ten- week residential educational courses for students from all over the world.
Oxford Technical Solutions (based at Middleton Stoney) was rewarded for its design and manufacture of high- precision satellite-aided inertial navigation measurement systems for automotive and surveying, while Oxford Technologies (trading as Veolia Nuclear Solutions at Abingdon) was named for its design and manufacture of remote handling systems for extremely hazardous environments.
There was also a special award for Climate Care Oxford in the Sustainable Development category – only one of seven in the UK given this honour this year – for its work with corporate and government partners to deliver world-leading climate, environment and development programmes. Founded in 1997 and trading since 2011, it first won a Queen’s Award in 2014 and claims to have reduced carbon emissions by an additional 16 million tonnes.
Considered to be the most prestigious awards for UK businesses, the 2019 awards were to mark The Queen’s 93rd birthday. A total of 201 UK businesses were recognised as leading the way in international trade, innovation, sustainable development and promoting opportunity – with 41 being based in the South East.
Of the awardees, 151 were SMEs and six were double award winners that were recognised for outstanding achievements in both international trade and innovation.
