Winners

Lintbells is honoured to receive the first ever prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise: International Trade – an incredible achievement that celebrates the hard work of its global teams and recognises the business’s continued international growth.

Established in 2006 and based in Hertfordshire, Lintbells is the home of YuMOVE, the UK’s no.1 veterinary joint supplement brand*, with a mission to make the most life-changing differences to cats and dogs around the world.

Lintbells is a global, pet-loving company dedicated to helping as many pets as possible live an active life, for life. As one of the market’s leading pet healthcare companies, Lintbells offers an extensive, high quality product range that supports joints, digestion, calm behaviour, skin and coat, and dental care.

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

Following the UK’s decision to leave the European Union in 2016, Lintbells made a strategic choice to expand internationally, most notably increasing its presence in the US market.

Along with launching new products, sales channels, and recruiting a talented and passionate team, Lintbells also acquired Walkin’ Pets – a company specialising in pet mobility equipment, including wheelchairs, harnesses and slings.

Lintbells has seen rapid and continued growth as part of its international expansion; growing sales outside the UK exponentially over the past five years. The company now exports high quality products for pets in more than 20 countries worldwide, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to its mission.

Fiona Hope, CEO, says: “The whole team at Lintbells is delighted that our international growth has been recognised by such a prestigious award. We’re very proud of the difference that our supplements make and have worked hard to extend our global reach.

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