Wild & Wolf’s impressive news, that it had been awarded a Queen’s Award for International Trade, was followed a few days later with the exciting news that the company had also won a prestigious Brand & Lifestyle Licensing Award (B&LLAs).
The Bath-based business scooped the Best Brand Licensed Gifting Product or Range award in the B&LLAs for its Orla Kiely Stationery Collection.
“We’re delighted the collection has been recognised as Orla’s brand continues to go from strength to strength,” enthused brand director Dave Heffernan.
Other winners at the B&LLAs (organised by Max Publishing, home of PG&H), which recently took place at London’s Dorchester hotel, included Sara Miller London, which won the Best Licensed Fashion or Talent Brand category; the V&A Bag and Accessories Collection from Knomo which won the Best Brand Licensed Fashion Accessories or Lifestyle Product or Range; the V&A Collection from John Lewis which won the Best Brand Licenses Homewares Product of Range and John Lewis, which won the Best Department Store or Mixed Retailer Brand Licensed Execution category.
