Established in 2016 the Digital DNA Awards celebrate the success of Individuals, Projects and Companies from right across the highly competitive NI Tech and Digital Sector.
We were honoured that thekingsoftheroad.com was Shortlisted for this award in 2023.
We want to thank everyone for all the support you have given us over the last year at Kings of the Road.
We are humbled to have received this award. We look forward to the next 12 months.
In February of 2023 we moved to new offices at W8 in Manorhamilton, Co Leitrim, for light manufacturing and despatch. This allowed us to consolidate the way we would ship across Europe and beyond. This move allowed us to sort out stock and look at our range. This move was a major milestone for the company.
Then out of the blue we got the word that we had been Nominated for the
E-Commerce Project of the Year 2023 by the DNA Awards. We were shocked and thrilled especially after our success in the Fermanagh Business awards in October 2022.
We headed into March with renewed excitement. We had been planning a launch of the Official Kings of the Road Shop in Belcoo, Co Fermanagh and we planned to open it on the 1st of April. So we busied ourselves with getting it ready, and brought in our two new staff members, Hayley and Bella, who both helped get the shop ready for the launch. Kris organised The Tumbling Paddies and Paul Kelly to come and visit on the day, with added music by Dj Kilkenny.
We then headed to Belfast ICC, Waterfront Hall for the Awards. A great night for us to be a part of such an amazing gathering of Northern Ireland Tech.
After a great night, we recovered and focused on the opening of the Official Kings Shop.
A great opening and we were so happy with the turnout. Thank you to everyone who came and chatted, shopped and laughed!.

]]>Now we are not in any way fitness buffs, but we do like to challenge ourselves. We asked Mark to do a plan for us to try and slim off a few of the Covid pounds we all had put on.
We aim to follow his plan and use the products he has developed for us at Kings of the Road.
We will document our results and let you know how we get on.
Why not give it a try yourselves. You can order the Kings Protein here

It was great for the Kings of the Road Team to get up and visit the Breaker Breaker Show at Nutt's Corner this year, especially with the year we had previously with Covid.
The turn-out was brilliant, with 300+ trucks lined up and looking fine! Families walked around and enjoyed the many attractions provided to them.
The Kings Team, turned up to enjoy the event and catch up. Kris got the drone up and gave us a birds eye view of the entire site.
Check out the video here ( https://www.facebook.com/kingsoftheroadtv/videos/366191365001146 )
The weather was kind also and this meant that the truck run at the end of the day was a great site.
Some great footage of the Truck run here

All in all a great day. Well done to all the organisers and sponsors of the event. We wish them continued success and can't wait to see you all again next year.

We decided that Kirstie would be perfect for our first podcast. We invited her up to the our offices and then to the studio where we recorded the podcast. We were more nervous than anything, but Kirstie's manner calmed the entire team. Some 40 mins later we had recorded the first podcast.
We invite you to have a little listen. Its not perfect, but it is the beginning of our program to build content for the Kings of the Road Brand.
