Reepham-based manufacturing business L V Bespoke is celebrating after winning the Sustainability Champion Award and being named a finalist in the GIMA Ornamentation Category at this year’s prestigious GIMA Awards, held at the Celtic Manor Resort, Newport.
The family-run firm recently defended its brand identity in a high-profile UK trademark dispute with global fashion house Louis Vuitton – a challenge the Reepham team successfully overcame, securing official confirmation of their right to operate under the L V Bespoke name.
With the legal battle behind them, the company is firmly focused on growth, innovation and representing Norfolk on the national stage.
L V Bespoke, which manufactures bespoke metalwork, point-of-sale displays and design-led garden décor, has grown rapidly in recent years. Its products now feature in leading retailers including the National Trust, Hillier, Royal Horticultural Society and Blue Diamond, and the business is currently starting with British Garden Centres.
Director Victoria Osborne expressed her pride in both the awards and the resilience of the team: “To bring a national GIMA Award home to Reepham is incredibly special. This year has pushed us in ways we never expected, but successfully defending our trademark and then being recognised for our sustainability and design work shows just how strong our team is. We are proud to be a Norfolk business making a national impact.”
The Sustainability Champion Award acknowledges the business’s commitment to environmentally responsible production, including local supply chains, recycled materials and long-life British manufacturing.
The company’s finalist position in the ornamentation category also highlights its design excellence across garden features and decorative metalwork.
With demand continuing to rise, L V Bespoke plans to expand its sustainable manufacturing capabilities while continuing to support local employment and community initiatives, including its annual Remembrance Day installation at Reepham churches.
