The family business, based in the town of Dingwall in the Scottish Highlands, has won the award for demonstrating exceptional growth for export sales over a three year period following its entrance into the French and German markets.
Since its launch in 2012 WoodBlocX has grown exponentially from a relatively small online business selling its innovative modular raised bed kits in the UK, to a multi million pound brand offering a wide range of garden structures tailored to customers’ requirements. It has also established a successful commercial range, working with landscape architects to provide sustainable street furniture for large-scale public and private sector projects.

Its patented modular design means that there is no other product like it, whilst raised garden beds remain the company’s best selling product, the modular system can be used to create a wide range of garden structures including retaining walls, steps, raised ponds, garden furniture and even full garden transformations.
Henry Blake, managing director at WoodBlocX said: “Winning a Queen’s Award is a fantastic recognition for the business. Our unique modular blocks have given gardeners a completely different option for building raised beds and other garden structures. The versatility of the product, our made-to-measure options and our free design service means customers get a truly personalised service and a product that is unique to them and their garden. There really is no other product like WoodBlocX, this is why our products have become so popular in the UK and beyond.”
