On 13 July, Lord Lieutenant Sir Henry presented Lucid Group with
the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade. This award recognises
UK-based businesses that have achieved outstanding growth overseas with
substantial year-on-year growth.
Lucid Group is a strategic medical communications company
that recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary. The award confirms the
success of its first decade of trading, which has seen its international trade
grow exponentially over recent years.
At the annual company summer meeting, Lucid co-founders Jan
Steele and Dennis O’Brien were presented with the award by Buckinghamshire’s
Lord Lieutenant Sir Henry. Chairman of Wycombe District Council Suzanne Brown was
also in attendance.
Jan Steele (co-founder and COO) commented: “Welcoming
everybody here to acknowledge our success is a tremendous honour. Everybody in
our company works incredibly hard, driven by our shared passion to improve
patients’ lives. To receive such a prestigious award in a category where we
were competing with very diverse businesses makes us very proud.”
Lucid has previously won a number of industry-related
prizes. In 2015, the agency received the title of Medical Education Consultancy
of the Year at Communiqué for the third year in a row. With the Queen’s
Award, its expertise and business success has been judged against a diverse
array of companies from different types of industries for the first time.
“It is great to see that our work has been recognised even
beyond our current industry,” says Dennis O’Brien (co-founder and CEO). “For
us, everything we do at Lucid has always been about changing clinical practice
for the better. The Queen’s Award shows us that our approach is highly valued
around the globe. We are incredibly proud of what we have built together with
our hard-working team.”![]()
