We are really happy to have been awarded The Queen's Award for Enterprise. It is the highest honour that can be bestowed on a UK company, and it is a fantastic recognition of what we do here at Isabella Oliver.

We have been awarded The Queen's Award in International Trade. This kind of award is given to companies which have shown outstanding growth and dedication overseas, along with a significant increase in export earnings over a period of three years.

Our international customers have become an increasingly important part of Isabella Oliver, and winning this prestigious award is the icing on the cake for us as it recognises the work everyone has put in and continues to put in at Isabella Oliver. We are also extremely grateful to our customers who have bought from us and passed the word on to their friends. Thank you very much.

The award follows on from being the winners of the Drapers Award for Etailer of the Year in 2007. Drapers is the UK equivalent of WWD.

With thanks, once again, to our customers, our team, our suppliers and all our friends and family.
