STORY: Carrs recognised in Queen’s Awards for Enterprise

Across the country 201 businesses have been recognised in this year's awards, which mark the Queen's 93rd birthday. Carrs Foods International was among those listed for its contribution to international trade.

With over 150 bakery products selling in the UK and an export range of 85 products, Carrs brands, which include Paul Hollywood, St Pierre and Baker Street, are listed in over 20,000 stores worldwide.

Business Secretary Greg Clark said: “These prestigious awards help shine a light on all that is great about UK business today. I am extremely impressed to see such a wealth of talent and innovation from across the UK being recognised today by Her Majesty The Queen.

“These awards recognise the innovative products and services being provided by British businesses that are in demand across the world, as well as the sheer determination and hard work that comes with starting and running a business.

“Many of these winners are small businesses - the backbone of our economy – and we are backing them to grow, increase their productivity and create more jobs and opportunity across the UK through our modern Industrial Strategy.”
