King’s Awards For Enterprise

Christine was absolutely thrilled when Atlantic Pacific received the much coveted King’s Award For Enterprise in the International Trade category 2024, which is widely considered to be the most prestigious award available to UK businesses.

The announcement followed a rigorous and demanding government auditing process, during which we demonstrated an excellent compliance record with HMRC, strong environmental and governance practices, outstanding acceleration in overseas revenue, and substantial growth.
