A father and son plumbing business in York has won a "special recognition" award from its franchisor company.
Don Stephenson and his son, Neil, who began their York-based Drain Doctor Plumbing franchise two years ago with two vans, now provide a 24-hour service across North Yorkshire, including Selby, Scarborough and Harrogate.
Their turnover growth of 87 per cent last year contributed to the group's 34.8 per cent increase in total turnover in 2004.
Group founder and chairman Freddie Mitman presented the Stephensons with their award during a gala night celebration at the Hilton Dunblane Hydro.
Don, a former property maintenance contractor, said: "Our success is directly related to the exceptional standards of customer service that we provide."
