A COMPANY has been named one of the best businesses in rural Britain.
Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm, a grower and retailer, has picked up an honour in the national final of the Rural Business Awards.
It won the Triumph Over Adversity Award and came runner up in the Rural Young Person Of The Year category.
Owner Clive Collins has been a member of the British Christmas Tree Growers’ Association since 1994 and has been growing and supplying Christmas trees for more than 30 years.
Mr Collins said: “I am delighted to have won the Triumph Over Adversity Award. Following a life-changing accident while working as a forester, I refused to let anything stand in the way of pursuing my dream to run a Christmas tree farm.
“Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm has just celebrated being in business for 30 years, and I am proud of everything my team and I have achieved.
“Receiving this award from the Rural Business Awards and Amazon really is the icing on the cake of a landmark year for us.”
