Royal recognition for Little BigPaw

 

The Queen awarded The First Class Pet Company, the team behind the brand Little BigPaw, with The Queens Award for International Trade in recognition of outstanding growth in overseas sales.

 

Little BigPaw is a premium range of pet foods and treats, made in the UK with British ingredients. Launched in 2015, Little BigPaw has expanded rapidly taking advantage of new trends in pet feeding, innovative production and expanding international markets.

 

Little BigPaw is made with natural ingredients and high levels of meat so pets absolutely love the taste. Discerning pet owners only want to feed their pet ingredients that they can trust. Little BigPaw is grain free, wheat free and contains absolutely nothing artificial: just great food packed with natural goodness.

 

The range includes super premium cat mousses, single serve meals targeted specifically at small dogs and the Naturally Delicious range of tinned foods packed with superfoods and herbs for all dogs. New for 2018 and now available, is a delicious range of Oven Baked Treats hand made in wood fired ovens.

 

As well as The Queens Award for Enterprise 2018, Little BigPaw won the UK Pet Industry Federation Exporter of the Year and the Innovation Award at CIPS in November 2017.

 

Little BigPaw Co-Founders, David Alton and Jim Weston, have over 50 years experience between them in the Pet Trade. With a team of dedicated staff and innovative products they are rapidly making Little BigPaw a leading brand in specialist pet stores.

 

“We are absolutely thrilled to receive this Award. It is a huge honour and an outstanding  reward for all the hard work put in by our staff and dedicated distributors. We have a tremendous team who will continue to deliver the very highest standards whilst growing Little BigPaw into the leading British made pet brand," said Jim Weston.

 

"We are a small company and feel very humbled to be given such a prestigious Award. It’s a great tribute to the hard work of our employees and Little BigPaw distributors over the last 3 years," said David Alton.

 

"This is a huge recognition for the business. It really feels like we are starting to make an impact in the International Pet Industry. We consider our approach of international distribution partnerships and product innovation key to our success."
