Queen's Award for Enterprise 2010: International Trade

The Queen's Awards for Enterprise are highly prestigious awards for outstanding achievement by businesses in Innovation, International Trade and Sustainable Development. The Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion is awarded to individuals.

The awards are made annually by HM The Queen, and are only given for the highest levels of excellence demonstrated in each category. They are judged to a demanding level and winners receive a number of benefits and worldwide recognition. Previous winners have come from a diverse selection of business sectors and have included large and small businesses. Recipients of the individual award have been from varied social and professional backgrounds.

To be awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade, a company must show a substantial and sustained increase in export earnings over three consecutive 12-month periods, to a level which is outstanding for the products and services concerned, and for the size of the organisation.

Different requirements are set for the award in the categories of Innovation and Sustainable Development.

Awards are made on the advice of the Prime Minister after examination of applications by an Advisory Committee composed of leading individuals from industry, commerce, trade unions and government. The awards are conferred by the reigning British monarch on their birthday every year. For Elizabeth II this is 21 April.

FENSA

You can be assured that an installation by Crittall Windows Ltd meets the UK Government Building Regulations.

Crittall Windows Ltd is registered with FENSA - the most successful of all competent person schemes in the UK, across all industries.

FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme. It has been set up by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), and other industry bodies, with government approval, in response to the changes to the building regulations for England and Wales

From 1 April 2002, all replacement glazing in dwellings came within the scope of the Building Regulations. From that time, anyone who installs replacement windows or doors has to comply with improved thermal performance standards.

FENSA enables companies that install replacement windows and doors to self-certify compliance with Building Regulations.

When having their windows and doors replaced, homeowners must ensure that they get a certificate from Local Authority Building Control, or have the work completed by a FENSA registered company.
