Amanda Winwood honoured in King’s Awards for Enterprise for Sustainable Development

Amanda Winwood, founder of Made for Life Organics, has received the King’s Awards for Enterprise for Sustainable Development.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise were established in 1965 by Queen Elizabeth II. The awards were renamed last year to reflect King Charles’s desire to continue his mother’s legacy.

The awards celebrate the success of innovative UK businesses leading the way with pioneering products or services, delivering impressive social mobility programmes or showing their commitment to excellent sustainable development practices.

They are the highest official UK awards for British businesses and have been awarded to more than 7,000 companies.

Made for Life Organics is one of 252 organisations to be honoured in 2024. It has been recognised within the smallest category and is one of only 29 businesses to be awarded for Sustainable Development.

Made for Life Organics is an organic skincare brand and training provider. Winwood founded the company, which celebrates its 21st anniversary in May, with a vision to connect people with the power of plants and create a happier, healthier world.

She also pioneered Touch Therapy Training for those living with cancer and other long-term health issues, and is a founding board member of the Standards Authority for Touch in Cancer Care (SATCC), which works to open up spas to those whose lives have been affected by cancer.

Made for Life Organics was the first spa brand in the UK to receive B Corp accreditation.
