We are thrilled to be one of only 12 small businesses in the UK to be awarded the Heathrow World of Opportunity grant this year, supporting the expansion of our export strategy. Currently we export our own brand knitting wool, Blacker Yarns products to 26 countries.
Our CEO, Colin pictured above said: “We are proud and privileged to be recognised by the Heathrow World of Opportunity with this award. Working closely with our DBT International Trade Advisor, we are encouraged by the growth in our export sales in the past twelve months and we will use the award to further develop our markets in the USA and Canada. This type of award enables us to promote the values of ‘from farm to yarn’ using 100% British wool, made in Britain, manufactured in Cornwall and sold worldwide.”
