A SMALL surf and beach sports company made big waves at this year’s Chartered Institute of Marketing awards.

Funky Puffin was the only company to win two accolades – Marketing Achievement on a Small Budget and the coveted Marketing Excellence Award.

Funky Puffin won the top award for marketing excellence as a result of its successful launch of a new business in bicycle hire when increased postal charges led to the demise of its previous operation of selling eco-friendly surf wax.
