Awards & Accreditations

Gift of the Year 2016 - Winner (Fired Earth Decorative Candle Tin Collection)

After many years, we won the coveted Gift of the Year Award in the home fragrance category. In partnership with Fired Earth, with whom we were runner up in 2015, these decorative candle tins inspired by the wallpaper prints of Fired Earth were a hit with the judges and have been with our customers too!

Insider Made in the North West Awards 2016 - Winner (Green Innovation)

After narrowly missing out on an award in 2015, we were so proud to win this award, especially after all the effort we and our landlord have put in to make our site at Lindal-in-Furness as green as possible. Add that to the fact that 99% of our waste is diverted from landfill, I'm sure you can see why we came out on top.

Gift of the Year 2015 - Highly Commended (Fired Earth Earl Grey & Vetivert Two Wick Candle)

Our Fired Earth license has proven very popular with judges, trade customers and consumers alike. Two quintessential British brands, ourselves and Fired Earth, have come together to create these tea-inspired fragrances, with the colours deriving from the Fired Earth paint collection.

Insider Made in the North West Awards 2015 - Highly Commended - Manufacturer

We're so proud to be based in the North West of England in the beautiful Lake District and these awards showcase the best of the area. There was some stiff competition for these awards and we were pipped to the post, although still immensely proud of ourselves.

Insider Made in the North West Awards 2015 - Highly Commended - Exporter

Much of our product is exported to over 40 countries worldwide and we're so glad our efforts are being recognised, even if we didn't take home the gold this time.

Westmorland Gazette Business and Tourism Awards 2013 - Winner - Training & Development

We were so pleased to win a local award for our training and development of our staff, which is something we continue to do to this day.

BRC Certified Body

St. Mary's Hospice Supporter

St. Mary's Hospice is a place close to many hearts at Wax Lyrical - being a local charity, many of our employees have had the support of the hospice during a difficult time for a family member. From charity days, sponsored adverts and even having a collection point for unwanted clothes and toys, we do as much as we can for this deserving charity.
