Weston based company Lintbells wins prestigious King's Awards for Enterprise: International Trade

Established in the UK in 2006 and based in Weston, Hertfordshire, Lintbells has seen rapid and continued growth as part of its international expansion; quintupling sales outside of the UK over the past 5 years (2018-2022). Lintbells now exports high-quality products for pets in more than 20 countries worldwide. 

The new King's Award for Enterprise recognises the continued growth of Lintbells internationally, including a significant launch into the US.   

It is the third time the company has received the prestigious royal accolade, having previously earned The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation in 2016 and The Queen's Award for Enterprise Innovation: International Trade in 2018.  

Fiona Hope, Lintbells CEO, said: "The whole team at Lintbells is delighted that our international growth has been recognised by such a prestigious award. 

"We are very proud of the difference that our scientific supplements make to the quality of life of companion animals and have worked hard to extend our global reach. 

 "To receive the first Enterprise Award from His Majesty King Charles III makes this is a very special moment in Lintbells' history." 

Lintbells has always had one driving mission; to help pets across the world live their most active life, for life.

The ethos of this mission is prevalent in all aspects of how the company approaches the business – from working with sustainable farms off the coast of New Zealand to source the very best ingredients - to its charitable work and partnerships that support pets across the UK and the US. 

Following the risks from Brexit, Lintbells made a strategic choice to expand internationally, most notably increasing its presence in the US Market.

Part of this expansion included launching new products, sales channels, and acquiring a new local HQ, as well as recruiting talent to the company. Lintbells also continued its expansion across other international markets with the introduction of skin, digestive and calming ranges, alongside its core joint supplement, YuMOVE
