Ronhill and Hilly have been recognised for their successful overseas exploits.
The running brands have been shortlisted for a Queen’s Award For Export and reached the finals of the International Business of the Year category at the prestigious E3 Business Awards, which was held at the Reebok Stadium, Bolton on February 7.
Says brand director Graham Richards: “To be shortlisted as one of the four finalists from hundreds of applications in the International Business of the Year category was a great achievement.
“There were over 600 businesses present at the dinner and BAFTA style awards ceremony.
“Our export business is really growing and such recognition is a result of the great product and service that we offer.”
Ronhill and Hilly have also recently exhibited at two major expos – Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City and ISPO Munich.
“We were really pleased with both expos,” says Richards.
“The OR show was more of a national show, but was very positive for our USA distributor.
“ISPO was phenomenal, with so much interest and potential new distributors.
“We teamed up with our sister brands, Mountain Equipment, Sprayway and Bridgedale, and the group stand looked really impressive.”
