Bristol based N2M Ltd, which trades as Rockit is one of only seven companies in the UK to achieve two Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in 2022.
Rockit has been recognised for its excellence in both international trade and also innovation.
Rockit designs, manufactures and markets sleep aid devices for babies and toddlers. They launched their leading product, the game-changing Rockit portable baby rocker in 2017 and have achieved exceptional success both in the UK and in international trade with sales to over 40 countries.

Rockit inventor and co-founder Dr. Nick Webb said “I invented our first product to help my own daughter to sleep when her pram stopped moving. All our products including the Rockit stroller rocker have innovation at their core and are now sold all over the world, so it is particularly satisfying to win both the innovation and international trade awards”.
Co-founder and director Matt Dyson adds “It is a fantastic achievement to be honoured with two Queens Awards, especially given the fact that we are such a small team and have to turn our hands to all aspects of the business, from design innovation through to marketing, sales and logistics. We are so excited to be invited to Buckingham Palace in July to receive our awards”.
Now in its 56th year, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise are the most prestigious business awards in the country, with winning businesses able to use the esteemed Queen’s Awards Emblem for the next five years. Applications for Queen’s Awards for Enterprise 2023 open on the 1st May 2022. For more information, visit www.gov.uk/queens-awards-for-enterprise.
Nick and Matt have also been named Export Champions by The Department for International Trade and support other small businesses when starting their export journeys. Minister for Exports Mike Freer said: “It’s fantastic to see the success of Rockit recognised with two Queen’s Awards. Innovation is key to the success of small businesses right across the country, and to now see their designs sold across the world goes to show why they are one of DIT’s Export Champions working to encourage other SMEs to get onto the exports ladder. I look forward to seeing Rockit grow from strength to strength in the future as they inspire other small firms to export around the world.”
