Green Sheep Group receives Royal accolade

Green Sheep Group, one of the leaders in baby bedtime products, has been awarded the prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade. The award is the second Royal recognition for the business, following The Queen’s Award for Innovation which was granted in 2018.

Roger Allen, Chief Executive of Green Sheep Group commented: “We are absolutely delighted to be recognised with this prestigious award specifically for our endeavours in International Trade. When we started out, we were solely a UK-based company with just UK customers. However, as our product range grew and we launched new innovations, the opportunity for international expansion was evident and six years on, we have grown from selling to retailers in six countries, to selling on a wholesale basis to retailers in 30 countries. Adding in direct consumer customers, we now export to 45 countries around the world.

“The King’s Award is highly regarded on both a national and international platform and will have a significant impact on the future of our business. I am so proud of our team and all the work they put into the business – this is their award. Over the past three years our turnover has grown by 142% and our international sales by over 198%, and our Queen’s Award in 2018 undoubtably contributed to our overall success. We have restructured our entire sales operation to better support our valued UK partners. And we can now move forward with further investments in International. The timing of our Award is outstanding news.” www.greensheepgroup.com

Lansinoh support UKbased charity Baby Basics

Renowned for their postpartum and breastfeeding solutions, Lansinoh are pleased to announce the extension of their award-winning Birth Preparation & Recovery portfolio with their new highly absorbent Maternity Pads, designed specifically to protect new mums in the days and weeks after giving birth.

Available in two protection levels: Extra Absorbent and Discreet & Absorbent, the new Maternity Pads are crafted from soft, breathable and dermatologically tested materials and provide new mums with the comfort, discretion, and protection they need for their postpartum recovery.

As part of the launch, Lansinoh, also announces support of UK-based charity Baby Basics to help vulnerable new mums get the hygiene products they need after giving birth, donating 16,500 Maternity Pads to the charity which will be distributed across the UK via the Baby Basics network.

Cat Ross, CEO for Baby Basics said: “When Baby Basics first began 14 years ago, we heard stories of mums in hospital without maternity pads and being shamed for it. We committed then to ensure that every mum referred to us would be provided with Maternity Pads to ensure that they had the essentials needed for themselves as well as their babies.” www.lanisnoh.co.uk
