Lovehoney Picks Up 2 EAN Erotix Awards

BATH, England — The Lovehoney trade sales team has announced they have added two more awards to the company’s trophy cabinet.

They were awarded “Best Technology Concept” for Uprize, and Lovehoney co-founders Neal Slateford and Richard Longhurst picked up the “Best Management” award at the EAN Erotix Awards, which were held at the eroFame trade show.

According to a rep, with its advanced technology, Uprize is best suited for those who are well-versed with a variety of sex toys and want to try something more advanced. Uprize showcases the very latest in innovation in the sex toy industry, introducing patented Remote Control AutoErect technology, which automatically powers the rise and fall of the Uprize dildo shaft.

In 2001, Neal Slateford and Richard Longhurst founded Lovehoney with an investment of £4,500 each. Since then, they have set up global warehouses in Bath, Atlanta and Brisbane and have won the Queen’s Award for “International Trade.”

The Lovehoney trade team collected the awards at EroFame on behalf of Lovehoney on Wednesday.

International Sales Manager Kate Hodgson-Egan said, “It’s great to be bringing home recognition for both our founders and our most recent innovation from eroFame. Uprize has been a hit at the eroFame show this year with many people coming to our booth to get further information on it and a better understanding of the technology behind it.”
