ZED PODS Limited has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development 2024.

ZED PODS Limited is one of 252 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise. Announced today (Monday 6 May), ZED PODS Limited has been recognised for its excellence in the Sustainable Development award category for pushing the boundaries of sustainability in design, location, land use and social inclusion for the UK public sector. A total of 257 Awards are made with five companies being recognised with two Awards.

ZED PODS Limited was founded by its Chairman in 2016. Their team of architects, engineers and operational team are leading the way in designing & building zero-operational-carbon social housing. Their modular homes are unlocking constrained brownfield sites including derelict garage sites, carparks and Flood Zones. Zed Pods have a significant pipeline and are bringing sustainable development projects into fruition for Local Authorities and Housing Associations by using volumetric construction methodology.

Tom Northway, Chairman of ZED PODS, said: “We are delighted to receive this prestigious award as Sustainability is at the core of everything we do. By working in close partnership with public sector clients we are helping them to tackle both climate and affordable housing crises, whilst helping the most vulnerable people in our society”.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise, previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, were renamed last year to reflect His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses. The Award programme, now in its 58th year, is the most prestigious business award in the country, with successful businesses able to use the esteemed King’s Awards Emblem for the next five years.
