JP Morgan has won a coveted enterprise award from Her Majesty the Queen for its work on social mobility, an issue the UK banking industry has been criticised for ignoring.

The US bank has won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for Promoting Opportunity, becoming the first bank to scoop such an award since Barclays in 1971, according to a statement today.
