On 6 October 2025, we announced a double success at the Stockport Business Awards, having been named Family Business of the Year and Medium Business of the Year. The awards were presented four days earlier, on 2 October, at Edgeley Park in Stockport.
The recognition came during Arden's 60th-anniversary year and had particular significance given our longstanding connection with Stockport. From our beginnings in Bredbury and subsequent move to Marple, the borough has remained home to Arden's headquarters and UK manufacturing operations. By 2025, the wider Arden Group employed around 260 people internationally and was in its third generation of family ownership.
The official Stockport Business Awards results confirmed Arden Dies as the winner in both categories. The Medium Business award covered businesses with turnover between £5 million and £10 million, while the Family Business award recognised Arden's continuing family ownership and management
