Wilton London, has already exceeded the initial target of its first-ever fund raise. The brand has now exceeded £400K, securing investment from more than 350 individuals so far in its crowd-funding campaign. 

The B-Corp Certified business, producers of worktop worthy, eco-friendly and plant-based cleaning products, is aiming to become the UK’s number one eco household cleaning brand, while raising expectations of household cleaning products and capturing a share of the £45bn European cleaning market following its first-ever fund raise.

All products are made with plant-derived ingredients, free from harmful and toxic chemicals packaged in responsible and premium packaging, and packed with beautiful natural fragrances.

The company, currently valued at £4m, is targeting 300% growth this year with plans to use this round of investment funds to support new product and team development as well as acquisition marketing to bolster its e-commerce offering. 

Wilton Co-founder Mike Perry said: “Wilton is on a mission to become the best-loved eco-cleaning brand in the UK and to ultimately grow our eco-friendly and plant-based cleaning products offering across Europe. Eco-friendly cleaning products are currently experiencing six times the level of growth of conventional products, creating a £500m gap in the UK market alone over the next four years”. 

Wilton’s other Co-founder Sam Whigham said: “We’re delighted with the initial success of our first-ever crowd-funding round where we’ve already exceeded our £400K target and enabled hundreds of investors to join the Wilton journey. The investment will help us further develop our products and team and also support our e-commerce proposition as we target 300% growth in the year ahead.”
