PHMG receives The King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade

In 1998, our founder Grant Reed started PHMG with a simple idea — that sound could become one of the most powerful tools in any company’s branding. Today, 26 years later, we’re proud to announce that PHMG has received the King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade, the UK’s highest business honour.

What the award recognises

This award recognises companies that demonstrate outstanding growth in overseas markets, and we’ve delivered just that. Today, over 80% of our work supports clients across international markets, reflecting years of consistent global growth.

PHMG’s journey to global success has been driven by a sharp focus on international expansion and consistent investment in talent, technology and client experience. Today, we have a growing presence in the United States, Australia and Canada — supported by local teams, cross-regional collaboration and a shared drive for excellence across every part of the business.

A collective achievement

It’s a recognition of everything we’ve built together. And we found out on the same day we officially became an Employee-Owned Business. A royal seal of approval and a future powered by our people. A special day in our history.

From a UK team to over 800 colleagues globally, this journey has been shaped by every single person at PHMG.

Although our roots are in the UK, our reach is truly global. With major operations in Manchester, Chicago, Phoenix and Brisbane, we continue to support almost 40,000 clients across continents. And with the continued expansion of our customer experience product range and Complete Caller Experience, we’re delivering even more value to the brands we serve — one conversation at a time.

This award is not just a milestone. It’s a reminder of what’s possible when purpose meets people, and a global business stays true to its vision. The best part? We’re only getting started.
