VHR is one of 116 organisations nationwide to receive a King’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade this year. The accolade highlights VHR’s exceptional success in overseas markets and strengthens its position as a leading provider of global recruitment solutions.

Founded in 2003 and employing 70 people, VHR delivers award-winning recruitment services to some of the world’s most advanced and technical industries, including Aerospace & Aviation, F1 & Automotive Engineering, Engineering & Manufacturing, Defence & Security, Civils & Infrastructure, and Marine. Operating in over 58 countries, VHR provides comprehensive, end-to-end workforce solutions that include recruitment, onboarding, visa and work permit support, logistics, and in-country management, serving as an extension of its clients’ HR departments.

“This award celebrates our exceptional growth and success in global markets, reflecting the hard work, innovation, and dedication of our entire team,” said Danny Brooks MBE, CEO of VHR. “Winning a King’s Award not only validates our commitment to international excellence but also enhances our global reputation as a trusted recruitment partner.”

Formerly known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, the honours were renamed in 2023 to reflect His Majesty the King’s wish to continue the legacy of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses. Now in its 59th year, the King’s Awards for Enterprise are widely regarded as the most prestigious business awards in the UK. Recipients earn the right to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.

VHR’s success in securing this award is a testament to its longstanding commitment to innovation, customer service, and sustainable international growth.
