Celtic & Co.
CELTIC & CO. is a British fashion brand that offers luxury products made exclusively
from the finest natural fibres, predominantly produced in the UK. Founders Nick and Kath Whitworth have been running the business for 28 years from their Cornwall base and it is now established as one of the UK’s largest retailers of luxury sheepskin products.
Celtic is a direct-to-consumer retailer, operating through UK, US, Canadian and Australian websites, a dedicated call centre and a handful
of small boutiques. Celtic’s sheepskin footwear is still handcrafted in its workshop in Newquay by a talented team.
Nick says: “Since 2014, our strategy has focused on profitable growth to protect Celtic in the
long term by building up our equity. We’re still aiming to grow between 5-10% of our turnover YOY, but focusing on a wide range of markets/ opportunities to ensure we’re not over-reliant on one market or territory.
“A key part of this strategy is international growth, demonstrated by our growth from 1% of total turnover being through exports in 2014/15 to 17% in 2017/18. B2B (UK and international) is another area of growth and diversification. We’ve recently partnered with trade agents in the UK and the US and are delighted to have secured our first
major US trade customer with a $44,000 order!”
Kath explains: “Our business model is to run overseas operations from our head office in Cornwall. We use logistics partners to ensure we are exporting goods in the most efficient and cost-effective way.
“By doing this we are keeping
employment opportunity and
supplier partnerships in the
UK – supporting our local economy. As we grow international business we will continually look
at innovative ways to use natural fibres to create long-lasting, timeless pieces that help transform us from a throwaway society into one that values sustainability.
“The manufacturing part of the business has its heart in Cornwall and that’s where our boots and slippers will always be made.”

Central Wire Industries UK Ltd
CENTRAL WIRE INDUSTRIES UK Ltd, in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, manufactures and distributes speciality, high quality stainless steel and nickel-based alloy round and profile wires.
In recognition of the company’s outstanding 92% growth in international markets over the past three years, the UK member of the CWI Group
is delighted to have received the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the category of International Trade.
CWI-UK Ltd has an extensive alloy-grade library and a wide portfolio of wire products that cover many industries, including welding, aerospace, and construction. The company is best known
for producing profile wires used in many diverse applications and slickline wires used globally
in the oil and gas industry, marketed under the internationally recognised brand of GDTM-SUPA® Slicklines.
The acquisition of CWI UK Ltd in 2015 expanded the international reach of the CWI group of companies, allowing for shorter lead times and faster deliveries on the global stage. The company has more flexibility in customisation and order sizes, and CWI-UK has increased the company’s ability to fulfill smaller orders quickly.
“I am absolutely delighted that Central Wire
CWI-UK employees celebrate receiving the 2018 Queen’s Award for Enterprise at the Rotherham facility.
Industries UK Ltd has won the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise, said James Roper, managing director of CWI-UK. “The winning of this award gives recognition to all the hard work and commitment given by each of our employees both past and present.”
