ERG Air Pollution Control has celebrated receiving the King’s Award for Enterprise 2026 in International Trade with a formal presentation at its headquarters in Slinfold, Horsham, West Sussex.

Lady Emma Barnard, Lord-Lieutenant of West Sussex and His Majesty The King’s personal representative in the county, presented the award during a visit to the company, alongside Dame Shelagh Legrave, DBE, DL, Deputy Lieutenant of West Sussex.

ERG colleagues gathered to mark the achievement, joined by guests including Paul Lagrave, West Sussex Lieutenancy Officer, and Councillor Joanne Knowles, Chairman of Horsham District Council.

The award recognises ERG’s success in exporting engineered air pollution and odour control systems to industrial and infrastructure customers worldwide. Its international projects help operators manage complex emissions and meet environmental requirements, including at major wastewater treatment facilities in the Middle East.

Richard Hanson, CEO of ERG, said: “Receiving the King’s Award at our Slinfold headquarters is a proud moment for everyone at ERG. It gives us the opportunity to honour this achievement together and recognise the expertise, commitment and hard work of our team.”

He added: “Our international growth is built on understanding our customers’ challenges and engineering solutions they can depend on. We’re grateful to our colleagues, customers, suppliers and partners who have helped make this possible.”

Over the past three years, ERG has invested in developing and proving its biotrickling filter and catalytic activated carbon technologies for hot climates. These systems remove hydrogen sulphide and control odours, helping customers meet demanding treatment requirements while keeping operating costs low.

The presentation recognised the contribution of ERG’s workforce to developing treatment technologies, delivering projects and supporting customers internationally.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise recognise outstanding achievements by UK businesses. ERG’s award in the International Trade category entitles the company to use the King’s Awards emblem for five years.
