Belfast-based brand Vita Liberata has won one of the most pretigious business awards in the country. The Queen's Awards for Enterprise in International Trade has been awarded to the brand in recognition of their advances in the international market.
Since 2011, Vita Liberata have achieved an overseas sales growth of over 400%, tripled its headcount and opened operations in the USA. The brand is now sold in over twenty countries with the USA accounting for over 30% of the group's overseas sales.
Alyson Hogg, the company's founder and CEO says, "The Queen's Award is a recognition of the dynamic, creative, tenacious and incredibly smart team of (mostly) young women that work with us across 24 time zones and as many countries. It is even more remarkable when you consider that operations are run from the Company's Global Headquarters in the small market town of Ballyclare in Northern Ireland.
"We have been fortunate to partner with some of the strongest retailers in our sector, who recognise both the amazing quality of our products, and the ability of our team to deliver on our joint goals. This Award recognises our team, our product and our determination to bring what we make to a world stage. It is a wonderful accolade. We are very proud indeed!"
The brand, known for its commitment to natural, certified organic and Ecocert ingredients is also responsible for developing the first totally odourless and longest lasting tanning product. It now sells to Sephora Europe and USA, QVC USA, benefit Cosmetics and is exclusive spa partners with the 7* Burj al Arab in Dubai, Waldorf Astoria, Peninsula, Setai, Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton groups.
Until then...geek on!
