Chemical compliance company Scitegrity Limited, based at Discovery Park in Sandwich, Kent, has been honoured with The King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade.
Announced today (Tuesday 6 May), Scitegrity is one of 197 organisations nationally to be awarded a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise, which recognises the nation’s most outstanding businesses.
Employing 7 people, Scitegrity was founded in 2011 by Ian Johns and Joe Bradley and has been located at Discovery Park since inception. The company provides regulatory compliance solutions to the pharmaceutical and chemicals industry, allowing clients to easily identify regulated chemicals globally and generate tariff classification codes (HTS codes), supporting compliant export and trade.
Scitegrity CEO, Joe Bradley, said:
“We are delighted and extremely honoured to receive this award in recognition of the years of hard work and dedication by our small, tight knit team. When we started in 2011, it wasn’t clear whether what we planned was technically feasible, however our software is now used by five of the world’s top 10 pharmaceutical companies and dozens of other research organisations around the world. I’m incredibly proud of my team and all that they have achieved.”
Scitegrity is now the fourth King’s Award winner located at Discovery Park. Scientific consultancy A4P and biospecimens provider Logical Biological were awarded for International Trade in 2024, and eXroid was awarded for Innovation in 2023, recognising their work in developing a treatment for haemorrhoid sufferers.
Mayer Schreiber, CEO of Discovery Park, said:
“Scitegrity’s award for International Trade is a fantastic achievement and a clear demonstration of their global impact within the science sector. Having four King’s Award winners at Discovery Park underscores the strength and innovation that thrives here in Kent, supporting dynamic companies like Scitegrity to grow from ambitious start-ups to international players. Congratulations to the entire team at Scitegrity on this significant milestone.”
The King’s Awards for Enterprise, now in its 59th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country and recognises outstanding achievement in the categories of international trade, innovation, sustainable development and promoting opportunity through social mobility.
