A British distributor has picked up a European award from a global footwear brand.

Rutland-based Bradshaw Taylor scooped the prize for European agent of the year for Keen, whose products range from walking boots to trail shoes to sandals.

The Bradshaw Taylor team received the award at Keen’s recent European sales meeting in the Polish city of Kraków, in recognition of its work over the past seven years and growth for the brand, in particular the recent launch of Keen’s European-made collection and Uneek sandals.

Perry Laukens, marketing director for Keen in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, said: “The guys at Bradshaw Taylor demonstrate expertise, enthusiasm, commitment and integrity that has enabled us to make great strides to grow Keen in the UK market.

“We are excited to continue to work with them as Keen move into their second decade in Europe.”
