For the second consecutive year, Paladone was listed in the Sunday Times’ International Track 200, which ranks Britain’s mid-market private companies with the fastest growing overseas sales.

“We were absolutely delighted to feature on the list again this year,” Paladone’s commercial director Yann Le Bouedec told GiftsandHome.net.

“Our growth is down to the great quality of products that we are creating and their fast rates of sales at retail. It’s truly a team effort and the award belongs to the whole Paladone team.”

The company, which received a £13m investment from private equity firm LDC last April, saw international sales grow by 53.46%, hitting £20.3m in 2018.

Strong overseas markets for the company currently include Europe, Australasia and North America.

Products range from major licences such as Harry Potter to gift and novelty items, with Paladone also among the trailblazers in using Breakdown Plastic (BDP) technology – naturally decomposing plastic – hailing it as a first for the global gift trade last summer.
