hampers.com: a double award-winning company

At hampers.com, we are utterly delighted to share that we have won not one, and not two, but three awards at the SME News UK Enterprise Awards 2025 and the Business Awards UK.

We have been recognised as both Gift Hamper Company of the Year 2025, as well as winner of the Sustainability Excellence Award 2025 at the SME News UK Enterprise Awards 2025. In addition, we were named Ecommerce Business of the Year 2025 (Oxfordshire) at the Business Awards UK.

Combined, these awards represent everything which hampers.com aims to be - a trusted gifting partner with sustainability at the core of everything we do. 

 

being part of the UK Enterprise Awards 2025

We are beyond proud to have been recognised by the SME News UK Enterprise Awards, especially because of what these awards stand for. These awards exist to 'shine a spotlight on the outstanding achievements of businesses across the UK'. However, what really resonates with us here at hampers.com is the focus on innovation, resilience and excellence. 

These awards also look to celebrate a range of achievements from commitment to hard work, through to brand new big ideas, but also positive changes that we, as SME's, can bring to both to our local communities as well as our industries.

We really appreciate this recognition and have also loved learning about other businesses with similar values to us, as well as those innovating and working for more inclusivity and sustainability across the UK.

committing to carbon neutral

Since 2019, sustainability has been at the heart of our company's growth strategy. In a single year, we offset over 492 tonnes of CO2, planted over 500 trees and worked closely with three global sustainability projects, whilst also upholding our 100% Carbon Neutral status. With plans to pursue B Corp certification in 2025, we continue leading the way in sustainable gifting.

The company also donates excess stock to Oxford Food Hub, partners with Oxfordshire Mind and sponsors our local Didcot Casual Girls Football Team.

 

supporting fellow eco-conscious businesses  

In addition to our own efforts, we also choose to work with fellow sustainable businesses, as well as British-based artisan, SME producers, wherever possible. Supporting eco-conscious small businesses and communities across the UK is deeply important to us at hampers.com.

This combination of sustainability factors is vital to our business - and this award makes us feel truly proud of the work we do, and will continue to drive forward, proving that small businesses can make a big impact.
