SQS has been awarded a King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade,
recognising exceptional growth across global markets and reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for
complex, international projects.
Over the past three years, SQS has achieved 195% growth in overseas revenue, with exports now
accounting for more than 78% of total sales. Operating across 50 countries and supported by a global

highlighting the significance of this achievement.
Founded in 1991, SQS has built a reputation for delivering end-to-end project assurance across complex
global supply chains—helping clients maintain visibility, reduce risk, and ensure quality from supplier
