Some 232 businesses from across the UK have today been named as winners of Queen's Awards, which honour excellence in business.

There are four categories - International Trade (141 winners), Innovation (51), Sustainable Development (31) and Promoting Opportunity (9).

In Greater London, 37 firms won awards - 26 for International Trade, three for Innovation, six for Sustainable Development and two for Promoting Opportunity.

Winners in the International Trade category range from defence giant Leonardo UK to baby and clothing manufacturer Baby Mori.

In the South East, 30 firms won awards - 16 for International Trade, five for Innovation, six for Sustainable Development and three for Promoting Opportunity.

This year's success stories include double winner World of Books, an online book retailer with a focus on technology and sustainability.

The company , based in Goring By Sea, West Sussex, sells 12m used books a year to customers in more than 175 countries. It also supports 4,400 UK charity shops through its purchase of surplus stock, and donates books to literacy programmes.

World of Books was awarded for both International Trade and Sustainable Development. It previously won a Queen's Award for International Trade in 2017.
