Queen’s award won by Wath firm

A WATH-BASED hair growth company has been presented with a Queen’s Award for international trade.

Staff at Watermans welcomed Lord Lieutenant

Dame Hilary to its headquarters to celebrate receiving the award. Won in April, the award is the highest UK business award a firm can achieve.

Founders Matt and Gail Waterman said: “We are very proud of this achievement – the business has been running for over ten years and to receive this award on our 10th anniversary is a huge accomplishment for the brand.

“The award speaks for itself and our triumph, we are delighted to have everyone together to mark this special occasion.”

Dame Hilary added: “It’s incredible to meet the team here at Watermans and present them this prestigious award.”
