Naturaw has been honoured with the first ever King’s Award for Enterprise

A Yorkshire based fresh dog food manufacturer has been awarded the first ever King’s Award for Enterprise for its excellence in Sustainable Development. Naturaw is one of just 148 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise. Originally set up in 2014 primarily to provide founder Jess’ dog Louis with a natural diet of unprocessed food that didn’t produce mountains of plastic waste, Naturaw now employs a team of 16 people in a state of the art facility near Wetherby in Yorkshire.

The company produces a range of frozen raw dog food with an emphasis on high quality fresh ingredients more akin to what dogs ate before the advent of highly processed convenience pet food, including high welfare meat from British farms. There are no fillers, grain, preservatives or anything artificial. Naturaw makes a point to use entirely plastic-free packaging on every product they manufacture.

Chris Broadbent, Director said: “To receive the Kings Award for Enterprise is a huge honour for us, and a testament to our team’s hard work and resilience over the last few years in an incredibly challenging and unprecedented climate”

The King’s Awards for Enterprise was previously known as The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, and the new name reflects His Majesty The King’s desire to continue the legacy of HM Queen Elizabeth II’s by recognising outstanding UK businesses.
