Brand Factory has established itself as a leading player in the international market, leveraging its expertise in branding, marketing, and a curated product portfolio to capture the attention of consumers globally and forge strategic partnership with key stakeholders across the world.

The King’s Award is the highest accolade that a UK-based company can receive for its contribution to international trade. It is awarded annually by His Majesty the King on recommendation of the Prime Minister, to businesses that have demonstrated excellence in international trade and made a significant contribution to the UK’s economy.

Commenting on the award, Tony Cox, Brand Factory Director and Sugro UK Board Director and Chair, said, “We are extremely honoured with this fantastic achievement and incredibly thankful for recognising our excellence in International Trade. On receiving this prestigious award, we would like to extend our immense gratitude to all our invaluable customers, suppliers, and dedicated employees for their contribution. Together, we have reached the new heights! We look forward to continuing our partnership and reaching even greater milestones together in the future.”

All of us here at Sugro are incredibly proud of our member and the growth they have experienced over the years. That growth only comes from building excellent relationships with both suppliers and their customers. We look forward to our Chair, Tony receiving the award at Windsor Castle later this year.”
