An above average number of companies in the computer, telecommunications and microelectronics sectors appear in the lists of Queen’s Awards to Industry, published this morning. The awards are for Export, Technological and Environmental Achievement – a new category introduced this year – with ICL Plc one of the three elite doubly honoured applicants. A total of 118 British firms were granted awards for export achievement this year; 25 were rewarded for technological achievement; 12 won awards for Environmental correctness. Winners are entitled to display the appropriate Queen’s Award logo on their stationery, other printed materials – and to fly the flag outside their premises.
