Queen’s Award For Enterprise Presented To Wild & Wolf

Wild & Wolf’s striking new offices in Manvers Street, Bath, set the scene for the presentation of the company’s Queen’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade, which was presented to Wild & Wolf’s ceo Paul Taylor earlier this week.

Staff gathered to hear HM Lord Lieutenant Anne Maw tell them: “Being awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise is a really serious achievement. A huge number of companies put themselves forward for this award and don’t get through, and that includes many of the larger businesses. So to have been awarded The Queen’s Award For Enterprise is a huge accolade, and I feel honoured to be presenting it to you.”

She continued: “It’s companies like Wild & Wolf that help to make our country what it is, and I feel so proud of what you have achieved. Every single person who works here should feel proud of this award, which is very well deserved. People will now look out for Wild & Wolf as they know that the company is special.”

Responding, Wild & Wolf’s Paul Taylor told staff: “I want to thank all of you. This is a huge achievement for Wild & Wolf, and it’s down to you. There have been a lot of changes in the last couple of years and they have contributed to massive growth internationally.”

Currently, the UK represents a third of the company’s business, with the USA now a slightly bigger market place. “However, we fully intend to keep growing the UK side,” Paul told GiftsandHome.net

The original announcement was made earlier this year on April 21 by the Queen on her 92nd birthday. It was followed by a royal reception for Queen’s Award winners held at Buckingham Palace in the summer, attended by Wild & Wolf’s commercial director James Portman, and export sales manager John Scarman.

Wild & Wolf was founded in 2005 and now employs 150 people globally. Products are currently sold in over 60 countries worldwide. Global brands include Ted Baker, Orla Kiely, Stanley, V&A and Happy Jackson. The company also supplies games and toys brand Ridley’s Games, children’s gifting brand Petit Collage, men’s lifestyle brand Gentlemen’s Hardware, Pretty Useful Tools and Yes Studio.
