Corporate member meets the Queen

Hypnos chairman Peter Keen and group managing director  Stephen Ward swapped the sights of Hypnos for Buckingham Palace when they attended a ceremony to celebrate receiving the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade.

The award is only presented to those who demonstrate the highest levels of excellence within their field and Hypnos, which was bestowed the accolade in recognition of its substantial growth internationally, was invited to a private ceremony in London where Queen Elizabeth II met with select companies that received an award.

Peter Keen, chairman of Hypnos and a past Master of The Furniture Makers’ Company, said: “Attending an event at Buckingham Palace with Her Majesty the Queen in celebration of The Queen’s Award for Enterprise for International Trade was a truly special day and a remarkable moment in the history of our business, which has been operating for over 100 years.

“This award is widely regarded as one of the most significant honours a business can receive, so we’re incredibly excited and proud to have achieved this and it’s all down to the hard work and effort of the entire company.”

Hypnos, which has held a Royal Warrant since 1929, supplies ethically made and sustainable beds and mattresses to some of the UK’s and world’s finest homes, palaces and hotels.

The company is also a corporate member of The Furniture Makers’ Company.
