A SPECIALIST logistics firm has been royally recognised for its commitment to sustainable development.
Topspeed Couriers, which employs 107 people, has received the 2026 King’s Award for Enterprise in the Sustainable Development category.
Founded in 1985, the company provides secure, compliant transport for high-risk and regulated consignments.
Stephen Clegg, CEO and founder, said: "Winning the King’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development is a huge moment for Topspeed, and I’m incredibly proud that our commitment to operating responsibly has been recognised at a national level.
"This award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our whole team, and the support of our customers and partners who’ve worked alongside us to put a robust Carbon Reduction Plan in place and keep raising the bar for more sustainable, secure logistics."
Specialising in time-critical, controlled, and regulated goods, Topspeed is a named Government Commercial Agency supplier, providing courier, secure services, and specialist movements to UK public sector organisations.
Blair McDougall, minister for small businesses and economic transformation, said: "A huge congratulations to every business receiving awards this year, who once again have illustrated the best of British innovation and talent.
"These awards show that right across the UK, there are small businesses that are thriving, growing and succeeding and it’s only right that we champion these successes."
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, mark their 60th anniversary this year.
The scheme was renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty The King’s commitment to continuing the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II in celebrating exceptional UK businesses.
Since 1966, more than 8,000 British businesses have received the accolade.
Award presentations will be made locally throughout the year by His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenants, and a representative from each winning business will be invited to a special Royal reception.
Topspeed is one of just 185 organisations nationally to receive the King’s Award in 2026.
