Lord-Lieutenant Presents MPE with King’s Award
MPE held a presentation ceremony on Wednesday, June 5th, for the King’s Award for Enterprise. The Lord-Lieutenant of Merseyside, Mr Mark Blundelll, presented the award on behalf of His Majesty King Charles III.
Awarded in 2023, MPE applied for the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in September 2022; however, because of the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we were awarded The King’s Award for Enterprise. A change of Monarch required the amendment of Royal Warrants to reflect today’s laws and legal terminology.
