Champions of Archaeological Innovation

ARS are one of the sector’s champions for innovative archaeology approaches. This is especially regarding non-intrusive landscape prospection services (NILPS).

The NILPS has been designed to improve site detection and locate “hard to find” archaeology while improving safety, reducing carbon emissions and costs, and speeding up delivery.

ARS is the first commercial archaeological company to achieve this award, and it comes off the back of many years of work undertaken in developing these approaches.

What is the King’s Award for Enterprise

The King’s Awards for Enterprise was previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, and the new name reflects His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II by recognising outstanding UK businesses.

Now in its 57th year, the Award programme is the most prestigious business award in the country, with thriving businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for five years after winning.
