Multi-award winning Pooch & Mutt has picked up another prestigious accolade – the 'Made in Britain' category in the nationwide SMARTA 100 awards.

The SMARTA 100 awards are the UK’s largest awards dedicated to championing smart, inspiring, resourceful small businesses. This year over 2,000 companies entered the awards, so getting into the final 100 is an amazing achievement in itself.

The final 100 companies are split into 10 categories and the winner is decided by public vote. Over 70,000 votes were cast, making winning a category both a testament to the companies themselves and the loyalty and engagement of their customers.

Pooch & Mutt won the ‘Made in Britain’ category, described by SMARTA as “celebrating those manufacturers and exporters trading globally. These businesses are crucial to the economy and prove that brand Britain and UK Export is thriving”.

Pooch & Mutt’s range of ethical, natural treats, grain-free foods and supplements are all made in the UK to the highest standards and are sold throughout the UK and worldwide.

The judges said: “As a nation of animal lovers, it’s unsurprising that this business has really taken off. Next stop: world domination”.

Pooch & Mutt’s founder Guy Blaskey said: “We are thrilled to have won this award. It has been a fantastic year for Pooch & Mutt. We have experienced huge growth in the last 18 months, which looks set to continue. The team have all worked incredibly hard and delivered the results that have enabled us to win. It is fantastic to see the team, the products and the brand getting the recognition that they deserve.”

As well as winning the SMARTA Made in Britain Award, Pooch & Mutt has also been awarded The Ethical Award from The Ethical Companies Organisation, won Gold for their Packaging at The European Design Awards, was shortlisted in the Grocer’s New Product Awards and founder, Guy Blaskey, is currently in the finals of the GB Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.
