Purple Line Limited, manufacturer of market leading leisure vehicle accessories and the OPUS multi-award winning inflatable camper hosted local and royal dignitaries for the presentation of their King’s Award for Enterprise trophy. 

The presentation was attended by the Mayor for Ipswich along with Clare, Countess of Euston The Lord Lieutenant for Suffolk – joined by the entire Purple Line team for a morning of celebration. The Lord Lieutenant presented Jonathan Harrison, Managing Director of Purple Line with the coveted crystal trophy on Friday 13th October 2023. Presenting the award on behalf of His Majesty the King, The Countess of Euston praised the company saying that ‘Purple Line is one of Suffolk’s most successful international businesses’, with export performance of the OPUS Camper to be ‘simply amazing’. On presentation of the crystal trophy, Mr Harrison said that it was ‘a great honour and privilege’ to receive the award and highlighted the ‘dedication and hard work from everybody involved over a sustained period of years’.

Purple Line was awarded in the International Trade category – highlighting how the business has sustained impressive growth in both Europe and worldwide over the past 5 years and has ambitious plans for further expansion. The crystal trophy presented is handmade by Cumbria Crystal, and the crackle effect is achieved through the process of the crystal being dipped in cold water during the manufacturing process. This effect means that no two trophies are the same, symbolising the variety and individualism of the organisations that win the award. 

After the presentation the Lord Lieutenant, the Mayor and their associates were accompanied by members of the Purple Line team to visit their on-site export warehouse for leisure vehicle accessories and brand-new manufacturing facilities for OPUS. The latter gained particular interest from the distinguished guests, where they were able to get hands on with the range of OPUS Campers in production and converse with the assembly team.

Purple Line is set for continued growth, with sales of the Quattro Caravan Movers and the OPUS inflatable camper leading the way globally. Purple Line also houses other market leading brands including Fullstop Security and Kojack Lifting and Levelling. Purple Line Limited is one of only 148 organisations nationally to be recognised with a prestigious King’s Award for Enterprise in 2023.

Meeting the King should be a nerve-wracking experience, but His Majesty helped everyone to feel perfectly comfortable and welcome at Buckingham Palace.

Showing interest in the continuing growth of international trade at Purple Line, Jonathan made sure to extend the offer of a loan of one of our multi-award winning self-inflating campers for the Balmoral Estate – he reflected that the younger members of the Royal Family would enjoy it enormously.

Great design depends on many things – understanding the problem to solve, an eye for form, detail focus and even material science all play a part.

When a product brings together all these qualities, you’ve got something great on your hands. One of our most popular products, consistently flying off the shelves of showrooms up and down the country, is the Nemesis Plus Wheel Lock.

Easy to use, secure, and eye-catching – the Nemesis Plus is the ultimate in vehicle security.

Patent Granting and Design

Patent Granting and Design 1920 1920 Purple Line Limited - Design Innovate Improve

Being awarded a patent is a pretty common occurrence here at Purple Line, but always exciting nonetheless.

As a company that thrives on the output of our team of creatives and innovators, protecting our intellectual property is as essential as it is prudent. Imitation might be the sincerest form of flattery, but when your new design gets nabbed and copied by a less than reputable outfit, it becomes more challenging to maintain brand trust. Good design starts and ends at the patent office, so look for the logo and you can feel assured that your purchase is a legitimate Purple Line product!
