Lovehoney Celebrates 'Double-Whammy' XBIZ Europa Awards Wins

BATH, England — Lovehoney is celebrating its "double-whammy" wins at the 2020 XBIZ Europa Awards last week with trophies for Online Retailer of the Year and Fetish Product/Line of the Year for its "Fifty Shades of Grey" range.

"It is an honour to have won two awards at this year’s XBIZ Europa Awards," International Sales Manager Kate Hodgson-Egan said. "2020 has been a strange year full of challenges for everyone and we’re extremely proud of Lovehoney's recent successes. Everybody has worked incredibly hard and these awards are a fitting recognition for their efforts."

“Winning Fetish Line of the Year has tied in remarkably well with the launch of our new Fifty Shades of Grey luxury bondage and toy collections," Hodgson-Egan continued, "and we are also getting ready to celebrate the 10 year anniversary next year!"

A rep noted "the 2020 COVID-19 sex toy boom has seen Lovehoney’s customer base grow considerably as well as a huge uplift in sales for the Fifty Shades Of Grey range, year-on-year, as couples look to engage in more adventurous sex while they spend more time at home."
