OLPRO Wins Queen's Award for Enterprise
OLPRO named as winner of the Queen's Award for Enterprise - International Trade 2021
We are so proud to announce we have been named as the winner of the Queen's Award for Enterprise – International Trade 2021.
In the last 12 months OLPRO’s increased international sales has enabled the business to double the number of staff it employs.
We have seen an increased demand for its camping products internationally and sold products to a total of 29 different countries in the last year.
The majority of OLPRO’s sales come from the northern hemisphere, with many products being sold to the USA, Germany and France. We've used the last 12 months as an opportunity to build our international service further and our website is now available in nearly 100 different languages.
Daniel Walton, Founder of OLPRO, said: “We're absolutely delighted to be announced as the winner of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise - International Trade 2021. I think this award recognises the exceptional interest in our brand and innovative products, but it also represents how people across the globe have shown a growing interest in camping and enjoying the great outdoors."
"This year we are celebrating our 10th year in business and I'm so pleased with how we've been able to grow our company significantly during this time. But more importantly, we’re proud to be a business that really gives back to the community and we will continue to use our successes as an opportunity to help and support local communities, charities and CSR initiatives.”
At the start of 2021, we launched our new tree-planting initiative where the we plant one tree for each OLPRO tent and awning sold. The initiative is a major part of the our sustainability and environmental plans and is expected to lead to the planting of tens of thousands of trees within the first year, moving OLPRO towards its carbon neutral ambition.
