GW Pharmaceuticals recognised for leadership in prescription cannabis-based medicines with prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation - Seite 2

GW’s Chief Executive Officer Justin Gover said, “Thanks to two decades of perseverance, dedication and pioneering work, GW has established a world-leading position in cannabinoid science and brought breakthrough medicines to patients in a new frontier of medicine. We are immensely proud to have that work and dedication recognised by the prestigious Queen’s Awards for Enterprise. Our continued commitment to research and development has resulted in the treatment of thousands of patients with our medicines, and the prospect of helping countless more families through our robust pipeline of early- and late-stage product candidates.”

This award also recognises GW’s leadership in cannabinoid science and efforts to benefit the wider medical community, the pharmaceutical industry and society, as GW has shown regulators and governments that it is possible to work within the existing pharmaceutical regulatory system to develop clinically proven medicines derived from the cannabis plant. In doing so, GW has created a roadmap to approach the study, manufacture and delivery of cannabis-based medicines, and supported regulators by providing high-quality evidence to support the regulatory approval of the company’s marketed medicines.

Regarded as the highest official UK award for British business, the Queen’s Award for Enterprise is an annual award which recognises outstanding achievement in Innovation. Now in its 55^th year, the Queen’s Award for Enterprise recognises exceptional achievement by UK businesses. GW is one of several organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise. It is awarded to products or services that have been available on the market and can demonstrate outstanding innovation and commercial success for at least two years.

GW Pharmaceuticals would also like to pay tribute to the significant role played by His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh in establishing Her Majesty’s Awards, and his support of the Awards for the last 50 years. GW extends its deepest sympathies to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family.
