A BABY and nursery product manufacturer with county roots has received the prestigious Queen's Award.

Green Sheep Group, which started in Inkberrow and still has a warehouse there, will be hosting an event later this month to mark the presentation of its prestigious Queen’s Award win.

The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise is given to businesses for outstanding achievement in the categories of innovation, international trade, sustainable development and promoting opportunity through social mobility.

Green Sheep Group was established in 2006 and specialises in the design and manufacture of nursery baby products. Two brands operate under the company umbrella of Green Sheep Group - The Little Green Sheep, which focuses on organic baby products and Snüz, home to award winning stylish and innovative baby sleep products.

Roger Allen, the firm's chief executive, said: “The whole company was absolutely delighted to receive the news. It is testimony to the hard work and upbeat culture in every department that we have received such an incredible honour. The presentation evening will be a great way for us to celebrate our recent success and acknowledge each and every one of our employees.”
