QBS Software has been honoured with a King’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade, recognising its sustained international growth and its impact as a global software delivery platform.
Approved by His Majesty The King following the Prime Minister’s recommendation, the award is one of the highest honours for UK business. It recognises the role QBS has played in delivering software to some of the world’s largest organisations through its extensive vendor and partner ecosystem.
The recognition comes as the King’s Awards for Enterprise marks its 60th anniversary, with the 2026 recipients announced in a special supplement of The Gazette on 6 May 2026.
Strong growth driven by platform scale and strategy
QBS has established itself as a fast-growing and ambitious force in software distribution, built around a single access point to more than 12,500 software vendors. Its platform connects these publishers with a network of over 6,000 reseller partners across EMEA, simplifying procurement and expanding routes to market.
The business has achieved consistent growth through a combination of organic expansion and precision acquisitions. This approach, alongside a recurring revenue model, has enabled QBS to scale while maintaining service quality and operational focus.
Dave Stevinson, CEO of QBS, said: “It is an incredible accolade for QBS to receive such formal recognition from the King. This is testament to our global workforce delivering software to the world’s largest companies”.
