The King’s Award for Enterprise

We’re absolutely delighted to share some big news with you. We’ve just received the King’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade! 

 

Double Dutch & The King's Award

The King’s Award is the most prestigious award given to a British business. We’re doubly thrilled to have this recognition because, when we moved to London in 2015 to launch Double Dutch; innovation and internationalism, along with inclusivity and sustainability, were absolutely key to the business we wanted to run. It’s amazing to have that recognised and to feel we’ve gone completely full circle! 

Award criteria

As a winner in the International Trade category we had to meet some stringent criteria. One was achieving over £100,000 in overseas sales in our first year and; another was to demonstrate solid growth year on year. The third was to demonstrate a substantial expansion in overseas earnings relative to our size.

The Double Dutch team

We couldn’t have accomplished such outstanding success without a brilliant and committed team, both past and present. Our team has always helped us drive our ideas forward. We’d like to thank them for their dedication and enthusiasm.


Making a difference

We’ve always wanted to make a difference with everything we do. Whether it’s been through driving sales in new territories or creating initiatives like the Female Bartending Scholarship Programme. We’ve been able to rely on our amazing team to help make our vision a reality.

Innovation at the heart of our business

Our goal has always been to be revolutionary, using molecular gastronomy to create unique and delicious flavours. These flavours have become essential to mixologists making new cocktails and to households that love good soft drinks alike.

Sustainability

But innovation isn’t just about creating exciting new products. We’ve always focused on sustainability and we’re both Carbon Neutral and B Corporation certified. Showing that you can be a new kid on the block and an environmental trailblazer without sacrificing business success.

Diversity

As a female founded brand we are committed to ensuring all our business practices are inclusive and support diversity. We aim to be an outstanding employer as well as a premium mixer brand.

What’s next for Double Dutch?

The very first thing is to tell the world about our win! Then we’ll be going to Windsor Castle to receive our award, so watch our socials for that. We’re going to be sharing some exciting developments for our brand AND range over the coming months too. We know you’ll want to celebrate them with us, so please drink a toast to Double Dutch - winners of the King’s Award for Enterprise!
