A business based in Thetford has bagged a global award less than a year after its launch.
Little Ones Preloved is an online business that sells second-hand children's and baby's clothes for discounted prices as well as "playwear bundles".
Mother-of-three Emma Jones launched the business in April and has already been recognised as the Best Preowned Baby/Children's Apparel eTailer at the Lux Life Global Enterprise Awards.
Ms Jones started the venture after giving up her job to care for her children who have varying special educational needs.

"My eldest daughter has developed ongoing health issues since contracting coronavirus which sadly means she is frequently poorly and often has to stay home from school," she said.
In this period, she noticed how expensive it was to keep fast-growing children in clothes that fit.

"I used to shop on Vinted but that means paying multiple amounts for shipping when you buy from different sellers.
"I started selling second-hand clothes on various platforms and decided I wanted to give my own business a real try."
Ms Jones claims the business has already saved more than 1,350 items from landfills.
