Simon McGivern, CEO of LiteBulb, commented:
"It is a great endorsement of the Bluw team to win this much coveted industry award and I am delighted that LiteBulb is recognised within the industry as an exemplary innovator in developing branded products.
"From a commercial point of view the Star Wars home range was so popular at launch we had to quadruple our initial intake of stock. We are expecting great things in 2015 as it is the launch of the new Star Wars movie 'Episode 7'. Initial customers so far include Debenhams, HMV, Menkind, Hut Group, Shop Direct, Urban Outfitters and numerous online retailers.
"This range is, of course, just one of many innovative products in the LiteBulb portfolio, and it is this growing portfolio of unique branded products that make us an attractive partner for the senior buying teams at the major blue chip retailers."
