Sussex-based The English Soap Company has made the finals of The Lloyds Bank British Business Excellence Awards.

​

The prestigious, national awards celebrate innovation, success and resilience of British business including entrepreneurs, micro, SMEs and mid-market - right up to the FTSE 100. It is the first time The English Soap Company has entered the awards and is one of eight companies to be shortlisted in The Department for International Trade Exporter of the Year category.

​

As part of the judging process, in September finalists will take part in a ‘dragons’ den’ style presentation. The glittering award ceremony will take place in London on 8th November.

​

The finalists are all great ambassadors for British business abroad and have achieved the highest and most sustainable levels of international growth through exporting.

​

Oliver Butts, Managing Director of The English Soap Company, said: “To be shortlisted in such prestigious awards is absolutely awesome. We’ve won and been shortlisted in quite a few awards over the past few years, but this achievement is one of the highlights so far. I am looking forward to competing in the next part of the judging process and attending the awards ceremony in London.”
