We are proud to announce we have been awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise for our incredible growth across international markets over the last few years.

We were crowned as a winner in the International Trade category due to our consistent growth amongst 25 exclusive global partners. The Astonish brand has shown substantial growth year-on-year both in the UK and overseas, with exports increasing to 75% over the last six years in markets including Pakistan, Lithuania, Malta and India.

We have also increased sales and market share in Israel and East Asia across Korea and Taiwan while Greece has become the business’ fifth biggest export customer.

The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious awards for business nationwide and aim to showcase and celebrate outstanding achievements by UK companies.

Now in its 57th year, the annual awards put British businesses through stringent investigation and analysis, before the independent judging panel shares their recommended winners with the Prime Minister for consideration, before finally being submitted to Her Majesty the Queen for her personal approval.

The award’s criteria were as rigorous as ever, requesting businesses only enter if they had achieved outstanding growth in overseas earnings relative to business size and sector, whilst also proving steep year-on-year growth in overseas sales over three years, or substantial year-on-year growth over six years.

We are so proud to have an extensive list of global customers, selling to countries worldwide.

For over 50 years, we have been leading the industry and now manufacturers and ships goods all across the UK and some 30 markets globally, with over 60 products across our range. Here's to many more!
