Atlanta-based family company celebrates coronation of King of England after scooping royal accolade

Atlanta-based family company celebrates coronation of King of England this weekend after scooping royal accolade.

ATLANTA, GEORGIA, USA, May 3, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- A family-owned start-up based in Atlanta, Georgia which was launched to protect American homes is celebrating the coronation of a new King of England this weekend after scooping a major royal accolade.

The product design company which started off life in a small village in England designs products to protect real estate from heavy rainstorms that can cause flooding especially during the hurricane season.

His Majesty The King approved the Prime Minister’s recommendation that GaraDry² should receive the King’s Award for Enterprise.

The newly renamed King’s Award for Enterprise celebrates outstanding achievements by UK businesses and is internationally recognised.

Ashley Smith, 43, who started GaraDry LLC in 2017, has now received an invitation from His Majesty the King to visit Buckingham Palace in London later this year to celebrate his company’s achievement.

King Charles's coronation will take place on Saturday, May 6 beginning at 5am ET. A concert featuring Lionel Richie and Katy Perry, among others will follow.

GaraDry designs, manufactures, and sells the world’s largest range of threshold seals¹ for residential garage doors and commercial doors from its bases in England and North America.

The innovative garage door seals³ and flood barrier kits are designed to form a watertight seal between a garage door and the floor. The threshold seal prevents leaves, dust and debris from being blown under to ensure a clean and dry garage all year round.

The garage door threshold seals also act as a defence against rodents, insects and reptiles.

GaraDry LLC launched in Atlanta, Georgia in 2017 and launched a fulfilment centre in Tennessee to ship orders across the USA.

Ashley Smith, founder of GaraDry LLC, said:

“We’re proud of our British heritage and we’re all excited to celebrate the coronation of Charles as the new King of England. I’m delighted and humbled for our company to receive this accolade. It means the world to our team and receiving this acknowledgement from the King only encourages us even further to grow our business from our base in Atlanta, Georgia and continue designing innovative products.

“As well as people wanting to protect the contents of their garage, businesses see the benefit in keeping the products they store in industrial units clean and dry all year round and this B2B market has opened up opportunities for us all over the world.

“Safety is another driver for them because water on a warehouse floor is a slip hazard. Our products also protect expensive machinery which is at risk of rusting or cardboard which will get ruined by rain.

“In 2005 I started the business in England from my mother’s home and used the garage as my stockroom and my bedroom as my office. I’m thankful to my Mom for supporting me during that early phase.

“We’re all truly humbled by this award and hope it can inspire other people to pursue their business dreams.

“We are excited about the future. We will continue to work hard and expand geographically across the USA including launching a West coast operation to support our successful East coast business. We also have a new innovative product range which is under development which we hope to bring to market across the USA this year.”
