Tenby Candle Co. Wins Best Candle Manufacturing Business 2026 – Wales

Manufacturing Business 2026 – Wales in the SME News British Made Awards.

This award celebrates businesses across the UK that demonstrate outstanding quality, craftsmanship and dedication to British manufacturing. As a small independent company based in West Wales, this recognition means a great deal to us.

From the very beginning, our goal has been simple – to create candles inspired by the natural beauty of the Pembrokeshire coast. Every candle is hand-poured with care, combining high-quality ingredients with fragrances designed to capture the essence of the places that inspire us.

Sam Whitehead, Director of Tenby Candle Company, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to receive this award. As a small Welsh business based in West Wales, it means a huge amount to have our work recognised nationally. Every candle we make is inspired by the landscapes and coastline around us, and we’re incredibly grateful to our customers and supporters who continue to support our journey.”

Inspired by the Coast

Living and working in Pembrokeshire, we are constantly inspired by the landscapes around us — from rugged coastal paths and sandy beaches to pine forests and fresh sea air. These surroundings shape many of the fragrances in our collection and are at the heart of our brand. Our aim has always been to create products that bring a little piece of the Pembrokeshire coast into your home.

Thank You for Your Support

We would like to say a huge thank you to all of our customers, stockists and supporters who have helped Tenby Candle Company grow. Your support for small independent businesses makes achievements like this possible.

It has also been an exciting time for us as we continue to expand our range, including the launch of our handcrafted soaps under Tenby Soap Company.

Winning this award is a proud moment for us, and we’re excited for what the future holds.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
