Queen Elizabeth has honoured the UK’s biggest sex toy company with a top award.
Lovehoney, based in Bath, has received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise for “outstanding continuous growth” over the last six years.
The firm’s overseas sales have grown from £12 million to £56 million since 2015.
The award will allow Lovehoney to use the Queen’s Award emblem in advertising, marketing and on packaging for five years, and is considered a symbol of quality and success.
Debbie Bond, Lovehoney’s chief commercial officer, said: “We are thrilled to have received official recognition from the Queen.”Her Majesty has been a wonderful supporter of Lovehoney as we have grown into being the world’s leading sexual wellness brand.
“Royal patronage will help us to create more jobs at our Bath headquarters and in our international offices and spread the sexual happiness message globally.
“The Queen is the UK’s greatest trade ambassador and royal approval shows again how mainstream shoppers and retail outlets are embracing sexual wellness products as never before and appreciating their importance in improving overall well-being – a particularly important message as we come out of lockdown after a stressful year living with the pandemic.”
The award has been described as “the highest accolade for business success.”
This is the second time the company has received a Queen’s Award, after being given the International Trade accolade five years ago.
