Small Company of the Year

The Herdy Company has fully integrated sustainability into its business model to produce its high-quality giftware. The company has rapidly expanded its retailer network from 10 to 175 in just two years. Creating a new market by paying local farmers above the going rate for Herdwick Sheep wool, and promoting sustainable upland farming in the Lake District by channelling a percentage of profits to local communities through a charitable fund are just two of the initiatives of this exciting new company.

“The Herdy Company has so much authentic passion, and for such a small, young company it is amazing to see the extent of its impact on the local economy. Sustainability is woven into the very fabric of everything the company does. It is truly inspirational and I look forward with excitement to see how the Herdy brand continues to go from strength to strength”
