Argus wins UK King's Award for Enterprise

Energy and commodity publisher secures prized business recognition for international growth for fourth time

LONDON, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Global energy and commodity news and price reporting agency Argus has received the King's Award for Enterprise in international trade. The UK's most prestigious business accolade is based on recommendation from the Prime Minister to the King and has been given to Argus for the fourth time in recognition of its outstanding international growth.

Argus' overseas sales account for over 90% of turnover, and the company has grown to become a global organisation with over 1,500 employees operating from 30 offices around the world. Argus has recently opened new operations in South Korea, Indonesia, the Philippines, India and Nigeria.

Since the last award in 2015, Argus has invested to extend its portfolio of services. Previously known mainly for its expert coverage of energy markets and biofuels, Argus' expertise now covers fertilizers, agriculture, petrochemicals and metals, and it has launched services covering a range of environmental markets and critical minerals. These are underpinned by advanced technology and workflow tools which help customers make informed trading and investment decisions and manage risk.

Argus is one of 76 UK companies to receive the King's Award for Enterprise in international trade this year. The company won its first Queen's Award in 2002. In 2025, Argus was awarded the Investors in People gold accolade in recognition of the company's commitment to improving growth through developing staff.

Argus Media chairman and chief executive Adrian Binks said: "We are pleased that Argus has once again been honoured with UK's most prestigious business accolade. Our goal as a business has always been to democratise information across the globe, levelling playing fields to facilitate trade and international prosperity. We are proud to receive this renewed recognition of our commitment to internationally traded markets, wherever on the planet they may be."
