JPA Workspaces celebrate King’s Award for Enterprise at the Palace

category, and the only St Albans-based business to receive a King’s Award for Enterprise.

Fiona Edwards, Head of Sustainability, JPA Workspaces, who represented the firm at the Palace, said: “The team at JPA have been blown away by this award which is incredible. It confirms our belief that every business can contribute positively to the social and environmental challenges of our time.

“Going to Buckingham Palace was a thrill, but meeting King Charles III and speaking to him was quite surreal. Being given the opportunity to meet other incredible businesses was so much fun – what a night! I was also thrilled to get my JPA Bag across the line and into the grounds!”

Celebrating the best of British business, the reception was also attended by The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Environment Secretary Therese Coffey and Business and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch. This is the 57th year of the Awards and the first year of the King’s Awards for Enterprise, formerly The Queen’s Award for Enterprise. JPA Workspaces will have the use of The King’s Award Emblem for the next five years on their products and to promote their services.

Richard Cooksey, COO, JPA Workspaces, said: “We are delighted and proud to have received The King’s Award 2023 for Enterprise in Sustainable Development which provides a solid platform for our future growth. It is a reflection of the commitment and dedication of the team we are building and we are looking forwards to the future.”
