The King’s Award for Enterprise

Our founder and managing director, Martin Blackwell, had the incredible honour of meeting King Charles to receive the prestigious Kings Award for Enterprise International Trade 2024!

Meeting with royalty and being acknowledged for his exceptional achievements in the business world is a true testament to Martin’s vision, perseverance, and commitment to making a difference.

The King’s Award recognises outstanding achievement by UK businesses, and testament to that is the work done by the team at Direct Meats. Since establishing the company in 1995, Martin Blackwell’s family business has grown exponentially.
