Independent nursery retailer Natural Baby Shower has been announced as a finalist for the SME Surrey Business Awards in the category Retailer of the Year.
Natural Baby Shower are a Bracknell based business with a store in Bagshot that opened in 2015. Born from a passion for ethical and sustainable parenting round a kitchen table in 2007, Natural Baby Shower has now grown into a leading independent retailer that is loved and trusted by families across the country.
One of the things that makes this business so special, is its mission to help parents bring up their baby with a carbon footprint as small as their own tiny feet. Natural Baby Shower’s ethos is that they only sell products that are best for baby, best for parent and best for planet.
Their love and consideration for the planet runs at the core of all business operations from materials used and products stocked, to their fully recyclable packaging. It is their commitment to provide only the best quality, sustainable and safest products on the market that makes them unique in the nursery and wider retail industry.
Founders of Natural Baby Shower Victoria Hampson and Clifton Vaughan couldn’t be more thrilled to find out about the announcement by the SME Surrey Business Awards.
This year in particular, Natural Baby Shower has been receiving plenty of recognition and acknowledgement for the fantastic work they’re doing for people and planet, from their visit from the Mayor of Bracknell, Cllr Jenny Penfold back in May, to Victoria being named one of the E2EFemale100 for her outstanding business endeavours and transformative strategies.
In the last five years, NBS has taken over £100m in sales, collaborated with hundreds of well- known and ethical baby brands and, just this week, have celebrated one million orders since they began. They are also focused on the future, having invested £1 million in technology and infrastructure to support their ambitions, and drive to become the UK’s leading nursery retailer.
Upon hearing the news that her business is a finalist for the SME Surrey Business Awards, in a competitive category such as Retailer of the Year, Victoria Hampson comments: “We were delighted to discover that we have been named a finalist for Retailer of the Year, and it’s such an honour to be amongst the other incredible finalists in all categories. Reflecting on how far we’ve come as a company, I am beyond proud of where we are today.”
