Kings Awards event at Grand Hotel in Eastbourne
Mr Gary Stevens our MD shared the experience of Focus SB’s success in winning a first ever King’s Award for International Trade at a special event organised by East Sussex Lieutenancy, held at The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne on Wednesday 13th March.
Delighted to be invited by HM Lord-Lieutenant of East Sussex, Mr Andrew Blackman, Mr Stevens shared our experience from completing the entry form to describing his own personal journey and thanked Chloe Palser, marketing and stakeholder engagement lead for The King’s Awards for Enterprise: “I enjoyed listening to your presentation today and although we have been through the process at Focus SB it still sparked off a few thoughts for our next application! I also found it satisfying to hear from some of the delegates who were initially sitting on the fence saying that they are definitely going to apply this year after hearing my personal story!”
HM Lord-Lieutenant of East Sussex, Mr Andrew Blackman commented: “This was an inspiring event, and Chloe Palser gave those attending a much clearer idea of what the King’s Award for Enterprise is about, and how to approach an application. Gary’s very personal view of the process from start to finish was especially helpful, and his delight and pride in Focus SB’s achievement of the KAE infectious! Gary brought to life the benefits that a King’s Award can bring across many different areas of the organisation, from profile and publicity, to sales and staff satisfaction.”
