Company has been awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade 2020.
Santoro Licensing has announced that it has been awarded The Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade 2020.
It is the UK’s most prestigious and highest accolade for international business success, and Santoro’s second such award to date. The Awards are made by HM The Queen on the advice of the Prime Minister.
“To have received this Award for the second time is an immensely proud moment for us,” commented Meera Santoro, co-founder of Santoro. “Under the current circumstances we feel hugely grateful to be able to celebrate the company’s successes, which we have built and grown organically over 35 years.”
A continued key factor in the company’s growth has been the success of the company’s Gorjuss brand. It has been growing for over a decade and continues to reach new levels in international markets.
Gorjuss is now available at over 38,000 points of sale across 93 countries, with a value of $196 million at retail – a significant achievement for an art-based brand without a supporting media programme.
The licensing division has continued to sign additional new partners, boasting a 186% growth in the two years since winning the award previously.
