Our Client ‘Cabin Zero’ Wins The King’s Award For Enterprise In International Trade 2025
We’re delighted to congratulate our client, Cabin Zero, on winning The King’s Award For Enterprise In International Trade 2025, one of the most prestigious business awards in the UK.
Cabin Zero have been recognised for their incredible performance on the international stage, with their global, omni-channel luggage, accessories and lifestyle brand.
We’ve been working with CEO Neil Varden from the early stages of the business, from its humble beginnings in Leicester and growing into a globally recognised brand that now offers hassle-free travel gear in over 50 counties, at over 1,500 points of sale worldwide and with e-commerce extending their reach even further.
Our Managing Partner, Greg Tufnell, is incredibly proud of his advisory client winning the International Trade Award, in recognition of the company’s exceptional international growth and commercial success:
“Having worked alongside Neil from the early days, he thoroughly deserves this recognition, not least because he first built a successful Cabin Zero business before Covid struck, nearly finishing the business overnight due to travel restrictions. However, he has then built the second Cabin Zero business back from scratch, even better, stronger and with a greater purpose.
Cabin Zero’s worldwide sales are testament to Neil developing a product range that truly meets the needs and demands of customers and travellers, wherever they are around the globe.
‘Congratulations to Neil and the Cabin Zero team…there is more to come!”
CEO Neil Varden gave his reaction to winning the award and Greg’s advisory work with Cabin Zero:
“Cabin Zero is proud to have recently won the prestigious King’s Award For Enterprise – a milestone that reflects not only the hard work of our growing international team of over 15 people, but also the invaluable guidance we’ve received from Greg Tufnell and Prime Advantage Advisory.
Since 2017, Greg has helped me transform Cabin Zero from a one-person operation into the award-winning, high-growth company it is today. His razor-sharp attention to financial detail has been instrumental in driving our growth – enabling us to scale significantly and profitably, with EBITDA now at 24%.”
