Honoured by the Queen

We are thrilled to announce that Seasalt has won a Queen’s Award Enterprise in Sustainable Development, the first time ever for a fashion company, and the UK’s highest accolade for business success.

The award recognises the “pioneering efforts” the company has made to the organic cotton industry in the UK, with Seasalt being the first fashion company back in 2005 to gain Soil Association certification for cotton garments.

Subsequently the company became the UK’s biggest seller of organic cotton, with over 1.1 million organic garments sold so far.

Our very own joint managing director, Neil Chadwick, believes a key element to its success has been in the way the company has differentiated itself by following a sustainable approach to business.

He said: “Winning the Queen’s Award is a fabulous recognition of the passion that everybody in Seasalt has for running a sustainable business. As well as our achievements on organic cotton, we are particularly pleased that we were recognised for our community involvement.

“We’re very proud of where we live and being able to promote our local heritage through the sponsorship of sea shanty groups, gig rowing and charities such as the Fishermen’s Mission.”
