The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the UK’s most prestigious Awards for business success, often described as a 'corporate knighthood', and awarded to a very small number of companies by HM the Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister. There are four categories of Queen’s Awards – three for business success (International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development) and one for individual achievement in encouraging UK entrepreneurship (The Queen’s Award for Enterprise Promotion).
The Queen’s Awards were originally established in 1966, when they were known as The Queen’s Awards to Industry.

Our Evidence-Based Philosophy
DCCL’s BioGuard range of products are treated with a residual biocide which inhibits growth and stops toxic microorganisms in its tracks. Other cubicle curtains on the market claim ‘antimicrobial’ properties, or offer protection simply as 'barriers', but DCCL have invested in providing scientific proof of efficacy. Independent testing by leading research house Campden BRI, acknowledged experts in the analysis of microorganisms, has substantiated the claim that DCCL’s disposable cubicle curtains inhibit the growth of bacterial pathogens.
DCCL BioGuard is therefore at the heart of effective infection prevention and control.
Welcome to DCCL
DCCL are specialists in Effective Infection Control.
Our business is about protecting people. Every year at least 300,000 patients develop a healthcare associated infection (HCAI) at an estimated cost to the NHS of £1billion a year. (Source – Healthcare Equipment and Supplies 19th October 2010)
By designing and developing products and services that are proven to lower infection rates, patients, family and staff can participate in a safer and more effective healing process.
In 2009, we were awarded the UK’s most prestigious and coveted corporate accolade - the Queen’s Award for Innovation. The Company received the award from HM the Queen at Buckingham Palace in July 2009 ,for our patented disposable curtain.
We focus on providing a protected environment for patients, staff and visitors, allowing the clinical staff to focus on the delivery of successful treatment and care, while minimising cost and maximising convenience and privacy for patients.
We are continuously advancing our knowledge of anti-microbial technologies, to make products that help people, to take care of people.
Our focus is on sending people home well.
We, from DCCL, typically work jointly with hospitals and other customers to establish a business case for action. In our experience significant savings accrue when implementing BioGuard products across their environment.
