Nuneaton Signs Ltd, a well-established national provider of signage based in Nuneaton in Warwickshire, was officially presented with the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise (KAE) by Tim Cox, the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire.
The company achieved the KAE in the category of Promoting Opportunity and was officially presented with the award at their premises in Nuneaton on Friday 20 September.
Nuneaton Signs were the only business in the West Midlands, and one of only eight businesses in the UK, to achieve a KAE in this category in 2024.
Nuneaton Signs operates as a social enterprise and is dedicated to making a positive impact. The company prioritises having an inclusive and supportive work environment and is proud to provide employment opportunities for a skilled and diverse workforce where over 66% of the employees have disabilities.
Nuneaton Signs is also focused on their environmental approach to work, and actively supports programmes that minimise any negative impacts from their manufacturing processes on the environment. Every sign is made not only with a focus on quality but also sustainability, ensuring long-lasting results that meet client needs.
Tim Cox, the Lord Lieutenant of Warwickshire, said:
“Nuneaton Signs’ dedication to promoting opportunity through inclusive employment is truly commendable and sets a brilliant example of how businesses can make a real difference, not just economically but socially. This is the first time I’ve had the pleasure of presenting a King’s Award in this category to a Warwickshire business and it is a privilege and an honour to so.”

Cllr Martin Watson, Warwickshire County Council Portfolio Holder for Economy and Place, said:
“Nuneaton Signs is a true asset to Warwickshire, not only for the company’s high-quality products but for the opportunities it creates for our community. Its innovative approach to combining social value with business success highlights the importance of supporting local enterprises that lead by example. I was delighted when the council’s recent road improvements scheme at Warwick Road procured all signage through Nuneaton Signs; a reflection not only on our commitment to social value but also to the company’s outstanding performance. I extend my congratulations to the whole team for this well-deserved recognition.”
