Two members of a Yate company were invited to Buckingham Palace after winning a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
Precision Dippings Manufacturing (PDM), who make Bloccs waterproof cast and dressing protectors, won the award for International Trade.
This was their second Queen’s Award after winning in the Innovation category in 2016 after launching the products.
They are now being sold in Europe, the USA and Australia.
PDM director Kate Richards and business development consultant Hannah Prickett attended the event on behalf of the company.
“To visit Buckingham Palace for a second time was absolutely amazing,” said Kate.
“We’re thrilled to have won another Queen’s Award for Enterprise and can’t thank our team enough for all their hard work and enthusiasm - this really is a testament to them.
“We had a fantastic time at the reception in the company of many other inspiring businesses and were even lucky enough to meet Princess Beatrice during our time there.”
Bloccs re-usable covers allow users with a cast or dressing that needs to be kept dry to swim, bathe and shower normally. They are now available on prescription in the UK.
