Stashed Wins The King’s Award for Enterprise: Innovation at the Heart of What We Do
We’re beyond proud to share that Stashed Products has been awarded The King’s Award for Enterprise for Innovation — one of the highest official honours a UK business can receive. This recognition marks a pivotal moment in our journey, and we’re still pinching ourselves.
Our founder, Elliot, had the privilege of attending a ceremony at Windsor Castle, where he met His Majesty The King and Princess Anne. Reflecting on the day, Elliot said:
“It was an extraordinary and humbling experience to visit Windsor Castle and meet His Majesty The King and Her Royal Highness Princess Anne.
Receiving The King’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation is a significant milestone for Stashed and a testament to the dedication and creativity of our entire team. It reflects the culmination of years of hard work and our commitment to pushing the boundaries of design and engineering.
This recognition places our product and vision on a global platform and reinforces our belief in the importance of innovation at the core of everything we do.
I would like to extend my sincere thanks to John Davies for his invaluable support throughout the application process and beyond.”
What the King’s Award Means for Us
The King’s Award for Enterprise is no small feat. It's a rigorous and detailed application process that digs deep into every aspect of a business, from our intellectual property to our trade practices. Massive thanks to John Davies, who believed in us and put us forward for the award.
We’re especially honoured to have won in the Innovation category, widely regarded as the toughest to secure, especially compared to the more common Export award. We were one of very few in the UK, and possibly the only one in Wales, to receive it for Innovation this year.
For a design- and engineering-led company like ours, this is an important acknowledgment of what we do best: creating unique, impactful, and original products that stand out. It’s proof that our ideas and technologies aren't just good, they’re world-class.
Why It Matters
-
We can now use the official King’s Award emblem on our products for the next 5 years, a powerful symbol of excellence and credibility.
-
It validates our intellectual property and R&D investment, giving us confidence and momentum to keep innovating.
-
It helps us open doors, for partnerships, networks, and opportunities that may have been out of reach before.
-
It proves that we don’t just follow industry trends, we lead. We’re not just a product company; we’re a company that invents.
This award is not just a milestone, it’s a launchpad. We're more driven than ever to continue building cutting-edge solutions and pushing boundaries in everything we do.
To our team, our partners, and our supporters, thank you. This is just the beginning.
