STAFF at a North Yorkshire brewery are celebrating after being shortlisted for two business awards.

Hunmanby-based Wold Top Brewery has reached the final of the Best Small Family Business category in the Red Ribbon awards, the UK’s only national awards that recognise the achievements of family-run companies irrespective of size or sector.

The brewery has also been recognized for its export growth with a place in the final of the Yorkshire Business Insider Emerging Exporter award in the Yorkshire International Trade Awards.

Of the success, Kate Balchin, a fourth generation family member, said: “We’re thrilled to have reached the finals of these competitions and proud to be raising the profile of Yorkshire producers at home and abroad.”

The winners of the Red Ribbon award will be announced at an awards ceremony on July 10 at The Globe Theatre, London. The winners of the Yorkshire International Trade Awards will be announced at a dinner at the Royal Armouries next Thursday.
