Queen’s Award for Enterprise

The Awards were announced on Saturday 21st April, Her Majesty The Queen’s birthday, where Random42 was recognised for its excellence in international trade. The globally recognised awards have a long history of celebrating exceptional UK businesses and are considered the most prestigious business awards in the UK. The category of International Trade recognises businesses who have demonstrated substantial international growth in overseas earnings and commercial success within their sector.

Founded in 1992, Random42 was a pioneer of the medical animation industry, being one of the first to develop animated sequences to demonstrate the mechanism of action (MoA) of a drug or disease area. Since then, we have developed into the largest company within this space and have diversified into a variety of other emerging and innovative digital areas, including scientific virtual reality, interactive experiences and augmented and mixed reality.

Random42 prides itself on its scientific accuracy combined with film grade animation and visuals, brought about through the close collaboration of in-house PhD scientists and animators. Over the course of its last two financial years, Random42 has grown its turnover by 35% and is forecasting an average annual growth rate of more than 20% over the next three to five years. Currently, just 10-15% of turnover emanates from the UK, whilst 70% is generated from US-based clients.
