We are proud of the global acceptance of our trusted, scientifically backed, CBD premium brand portfolio. We keep innovation and quality at the heart of Dragonfly CBD and our extensive research and development and stringent quality controls will always guarantee the highest and most consistent product quality. This is why we are a premium retailer of CBD health, wellness and lifestyle products where vertical integration sits at the centre of our business operations. As a result, we own certified organic land and a licensed dedicated CBD extraction facilities – together with stringent testing in third-party laboratories that are globally recognised, ensuring a 'seed to shelf' quality assurance of every single product that we produce. That's why we publish on our website a 'Certified of Analysis' certificate known as a COA for every single product batch produced for sale, ensuing our commitment to quality transparency."

"As we move through 2023 and beyond, we will continue to introduce global market firsts and our business expansion strategies will propel us into new markets as we strive to create the next generation of health and wellness innovation."

Regan Saveall at Dragonfly Biosciences UK adds: "Thanks to our brand's integrity and following strict quality production procedures from seed to shelf, we were the first CBD brand in the UK to be stocked by Boots and have significant retail listings across community pharmacy, Sainsbury's, Amazon, health food stores, specialist retailers, other grocery retailers plus eBay to name but a few retailers. As a result, our Dragonfly CBD brand dominates the UK market and we are leveraging this success to build rapid global growth. In 2021, Dragonfly CBD became the first international and UK CBD brand available in pharmacies across Australia. This business expansion came off the back of the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration changing the regulations to allow registered CBD products to be sold in Australian Pharmacies."

"Adding to this business expansion, we have developed a portfolio of innovative CBD-infused topical products ranging from muscle balms, face and body lotions and skin patches. Further white label business innovation together with partnerships including distribution agreements, coupled with business firsts for our Dragonfly CBD brand will continue at speed throughout the rest of 2023 and beyond."
