Astonish has been awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in recognition of its growth across international markets over the last few years. Astonish has shown substantial growth year-on-year both in the UK and overseas with exports increasing to 75% over the last six years in markets including Pakistan, Lithuania, Malta, and India.
CEO of Astonish, Howard Moss (pictured), said: “We are thrilled to have our success in international trade recognised by such a prestigious and long-standing British institution as the Queen’s Award for Enterprise. Our entire team, from those on the factory floor to our international sales team have worked tirelessly to ensure we have grown worldwide, while remaining true to our British and Yorkshire heritage. I’m so proud to say that we export to more than 40 countries and this continued success means we are now able to make an additional £25 million investment into the company and our people. We have ambitious growth plans for the business, which begin with a move to a brand new purpose-built premises within the coming months. This facility will triple our size from 52,000 sq ft to 128,000 sq ft, helping us to increase productivity with new state of the art equipment, quadrupling sales both domestically and around the globe. We will also be increasing our workforce by 10%, recruiting from our local pool of talent in Yorkshire.”
