A Ruthin-based business has been shortlisted for a prestigious national award.

Lavinia Stamps Ltd, founded by local artist Tracey Dutton, is a finalist in the 2024 Chamber of Commerce Business Awards for Export and International Trade.

The company, which has been in operation for nearly two decades, previously won the award at a regional level in 2023.

Lavinia Stamps is known for its unique polymer stamps, inspired by the local area and featuring mystical and magical themes.

These stamps are primarily used for card crafting.

The company also offers a wide range of crafting products, artisan gifts, and décor.

With a significant international following, Lavinia Stamps now exports to around 50 countries.

The shop, currently located in Llys Clwyd, Cwrt Y Dderwen, Lon Parcwr, Ruthin, attracts visitors from across the UK and internationally.

However, there are plans to move to a new base in Plas Coch on Well Street once renovations are complete.

A spokesperson for Lavinia Stamps said: "We are so proud of our team and our fantastic achievements over the past year."
