Lord Lieutenant presents Bio-D with King’s Award

Hull-based independent eco-cleaning product producer Bio-D has been presented with its King’s Award for Enterprise and Grant of Appointment by Lord-Lieutenant James Dick.

Lloyd Atkin, MD at Bio-D, said: “Welcoming the Lord-Lieutenant to Bio-D at Heron was the perfect way to complete our King’s Award celebrations. Securing the award was a group effort, so to be able to share the occasion with the whole Bio-D team was fitting.”

Bio-D was one of 252 organisations to be recognised nationally as part of the 2024 awards, and was one of just 29 businesses to receive an award in the sustainable development category.

As part of the celebrations, Lloyd attended a royal reception at Windsor Castle in June, where he met The King alongside other 2024 King’s Award winners. Recipients of the King’s Award are recommended by the Prime Minister, and personally approved by The King.

Lloyd added: “Bio-D securing a King’s Award in the sustainable development category is just one more way in which businesses across Hull and the Humber are pushing the sustainability agenda.

“There’s a real passion across all industries in the region, working collectively to elevate Hull and the surrounding area to lead the way in the drive towards Net Zero.”

Founded in 1989, Bio-D is committed to creating ethical cleaning products that don’t cost the earth. Using plant based and naturally derived ingredients, its products are manufactured using solar energy, and it uses packaging that is both recyclable and created using post-consumer plastic.

Bio-D also secured B Corp Certification in 2022, cementing the business as a leader in the global movement for an inclusive, fair and regenerative economy.
