Frontier Medical Group Receives King’s Award for Enterprise

We are delighted to have been awarded the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, and welcomed His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant, Brigadier Robert Aitken CBE, to our Tredegar Head Office on 27th May to receive the coveted Award.

The King’s Award for Enterprise is the UK’s most prestigious business award, celebrating exceptional UK organisations.

As just one of 197 organisations across the UK to receive the award, Frontier Medical Group gained the accolade in recognition of our growth over the last three years: our overseas revenue has increased by 70%, and the company’s overall turnover went up by 30%.

Supplying medical technology for pressure area care to 34 countries – including the USA, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Germany, Benelux and the UK – our team takes pride in designing innovative medical technology which delivers clinically-proven healthcare improvements. 

Established in 1966, Frontier Medical Group’s international success has been augmented through regular reinvestment in our robust portfolio of patents in medical technology. With our stand-out pressure area care product ranges including Repose® and Toto®, we lead by example and set the global standard for clinical innovation to enhance patient outcomes.

Speaking of the award and the ceremony, David Caldwell, Chief Commercial Officer at Frontier Medical Group, said: “Receiving the King’s Award for Enterprise is the highest honour for the business, and we’re delighted to receive this recognition for the company’s success in innovative, sustainable, clinically-focused medical design.

“For us, working with international markets allows us to collaborate on a global scale and learn from best-in-class practitioners. Our pressure area care innovations are based on collaborations with - and real-world learnings from - healthcare settings across the globe, enhancing our evidence base to create clinically-proven solutions. This shapes innovative care delivery, and improves quality of life for patients internationally. It’s wonderful to gain recognition for Frontier’s success from the highest office.” 

His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant Brigadier Robert Aitken CBE, said: “I am immensely proud to present Frontier Medical Group with the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade for 2025.

“The award reflects the leading medical technology company’s commitment to sustainable growth, taking their innovative products to healthcare settings across the world.

“Frontier Medical Group is a shining example of the benefits to be had through reinvesting in technology enhancements, bringing life-changing products to the international market. The team truly represents what the King’s Awards stands for: encouraging SMEs and scaling British businesses to thrive, grow, and succeed.”

Built on more than two decades of research and development, Frontier Medical Group’s solutions are now used internationally to support pressure ulcer prevention and treatment, automated patient repositioning, and at-home comfort care through its consumer brand, Enora®.

Frontier Medical Group’s Repose® range has now supported the care of more than three million patients worldwide, helping healthcare providers deliver effective and accessible pressure ulcer prevention across hospitals, care homes, and community settings.

Our award-winning innovation also includes the Toto® Cradle, a recent addition to the Toto® Automated Patient Repositioning Platform. Developed in collaboration with frontline healthcare professionals, the Toto® Cradle was created to help reduce patient migration during automated lateral turning, improving comfort and clinical outcomes for immobile patients while easing the demands placed on NHS staff through reduced manual repositioning requirements.
