Reusable nappy pioneers, Bambino Mio have ended a remarkable
year on the highest possible note. Bambino Mio's Founder and
Managing Director, Guy Schanschieff has been awarded an MBE in the
New Year Honours List for his services to business.
Based in Brixworth, Northampton, Bambino Mio was founded by
husband and wife, Guy and Jo Schanschieff in 1997. From the modest
beginnings of operating a mail order business from their home
Bambino Mio is now the market leader in the reusable nappy
industry. The company now sell an extensive range of nappy products
and accessories in numerous national stores throughout the UK and
in over 70 countries around the world.
At the time Guy and Jo started Bambino Mio, reusable nappies
conjured up an image of being dated and behind the times. Guy has
strived to not only develop and grow Bambino Mio but the entire
reusable nappy industry. Guy set about educating parents about the
financial, environmental and health benefits of using reusable
nappies; helping to create an industry which has become an
increasingly more popular choice for parents all over the
world.
Guy Schanschieff said "It is a huge honour to be included in the
New Year Honours List. This recognition is truly special and a real
testament not only to Bambino Mio's success but also for what the
whole industry has accomplished."
