THE Press Business of the Year has gone on to further award success at a national farming industry event.
Wold Top Brewery, which was named overall winner at the Press Business Awards in November, received a Highly Commended award for its farm diversification enterprise in the Rural Enterprise Award at the 2014 Farm Business Food and Farming Industry Awards.
The judges said the Wold Newton-based brewery has shown it can further develop past its initial concept with good brand awareness, evidence of strong financial growth in a tricky sector and a well-thought out strategy.
The brewery is one of three businesses owned by the Mellor family who also established Agricola Bottling Ltd and more recently, Muddy Souls Events at its Hunmanby Grange site.
Director Gill Mellor said she couldn't be more pleased with the award.
She said: "To be acknowledged by the Food and Farming Industry Awards means a lot to the team who work across all three businesses. We're very lucky to have a committed and flexible work force and we're very proud of them."
