Commenting on this achievement, Priya said: “It’s a huge accomplishment for us at Lark London. We were up against some of the biggest names in the industry and could not believe it when they announced little old us as the winner.
“We began this journey 20 years ago, with not a clue on how to run a business – just a hope and a dream. We have faced two recessions, Brexit and a global pandemic (so far…). We are so happy to have made it through all these obstacles and couldn’t have done so without the support of our loyal customers and amazing teams. Thank you all for helping us achieve our dreams. We are touched to have been chosen to win this prestigious award.”
