UK SMEs urged to enter Government Export Awards as new categories are added

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) is once again inviting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from across the country to compete in its Made in the UK, Sold to the World Awards, with entries open until 9 March.

This year’s competition sees the introduction of two new categories and a revamped prize package designed to celebrate homegrown export success and further boost the UK’s global trade ambitions.

Organisers have expanded the awards to include Digital & Technology and Export Services categories, broadening the scope of the programme. These additions join a roster that already covers areas such as Advanced Manufacturing & Construction; Agriculture, Food & Drink; Consultancy & Professional Services; Creative Industries; Education & EdTech; Financial Services & FinTech; Healthcare; Infrastructure and Engineering; Low Carbon Energy; and Retail & Consumer Goods.

Alongside the founding partner, the Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade, Lloyds Bank has joined as a new award partner. In addition to a trophy, certificate, and digital winner’s badge, category winners will receive a year’s free business membership to the Chartered Institute, a working capital masterclass from a Lloyds Bank trade expert, professional photographs of their business, an invitation to the winners’ reception in London, and tailored promotion on DBT channels. Meanwhile, highly commended entrants will also receive a year’s free membership to the Chartered Institute.

Praising the awards, Gareth Thomas, Minister for Services, Small Businesses and Exports, underlined the positive impact that overseas sales can have on job creation and economic growth. “When small businesses export, it opens a wealth of incredible opportunities. These awards are a testament to the innovation that British SMEs display day in, day out,” he said. “As we enter the new year, our Plan for Change is about ensuring businesses across the country can thrive and grow. This will boost jobs and wages and firms that export are at the forefront of that growth. I encourage all those who have started on the exporting ladder to enter and showcase their success.”

With new categories on offer and the promise of extensive support and publicity for winners, the awards provide an enticing platform for Britain’s ambitious SMEs to highlight their international achievements.
