Local Fashion Label battles it out for animal-friendly award
Bembridge based fashion label Rapanui has beaten off stiff competition from businesses around the UK to be named as finalists in the RSPCA Good Business Awards 2010.
Recognising the very best businesses in the UK, the Good Business Awards reward companies for their ethical approach to animal welfare.
Rapanui joins Finisterre on the shortlist for this year’s small company award for best sportswear in the fashion category.
The company was praised by the high profile judging panel for excellence in advancing animal welfare and going the extra mile to include best practice in its ethical business policy.
One of the judges, designer Wayne Hemingway, says: “We were really impressed by the calibre of entries this year, which have shown a major advance since they first started six years ago. I was particularly taken with the smaller, ethically minded companies who are actively listening to customers and making huge steps forward for animal welfare.
