Her Majesty The Queen has been graciously pleased to approve the Prime Minister’s recommendation that Blue Eyed Sun should receive a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade this year. The award is in recognition of exceptional export growth in the last three years.

The Award was conferred on 21 April 2016, Her Majesty’s birthday.

Jo and Jeremy Corner, Blue Eyed Sun’s owners, have been invited to HM The Queen’s Reception at Buckingham Palace in July 2016 along with other Queens Award winners.

“We are thrilled that the Blue Eyed Sun team has been recognised for their hard work in growing internationally with this highly prestigious and coveted award. It’s an honour to be flying the flag for greeting cards especially in a year when the Queen celebrates her 90th birthday and will certainly be receiving many thousands of cards as part of her celebrations.” – Jeremy Corner, MD.

Thanks to all of our wonderful export customers, distributors, suppliers, UKTI and our amazing team at Blue Eyed Sun who have all helped us to win this award.
