AWARDS: 2024 - The King’s Awards for Enterprise in International Trade - Firmdale
Congratulations to Firmdale Hotels PLC who has once again been awarded The King’s Award for Enterprise 2024, recognizing their outstanding contribution to International Trade. This win follows on from previous wins in 2000, 2006, 2009 and 2018. Presented on the recommendation of the Prime Minister and endorsed by His Majesty The King, this award stands as the pinnacle of recognition for businesses in the UK.
Eligibility for this award includes the following criteria:
-To have made a minimum of £100,000 in overseas sales in the first year of entry and show year-on-year growth.
-Prove that your organization has achieved outstanding growth in overseas earnings- relative to your business size and sector.
-Prove steep year-on-year growth (without dips) in overseas sales over 3 years - or substantial year-on-year growth (without dips) over 6 years.
In Firmdale’s case, filling the above criteria has a lot to do with creating demand for their British brand especially from North America, as well as successfully opening the Crosby Street Hotel, the Whitby and the Warren Street Hotel in NYC.
We have had the pleasure of providing Cost Consultancy for Firmdale Hotels for almost three decades now (and counting). Mark Greenway, founder of Greenway Associates, was originally appointed as Quantity Surveyor for Tim & Kit Kemp’s Covent Garden Hotel in 1994. This was to be our first of many projects with Firmdale Hotels, that have ranged from small private members’ clubs to the ultra successful Ham Yard Hotel.
