Linda Jee of Horseshoe Cottage Farm, winner of a local award last year and also silver winner at national level says:
"Over the past two decades we have entered various categories
from B&B to Customer Service to Sustainable Tourism awards. To date we have
been very successful and very grateful to the support from LPL and other
previous winners.
The key to winning is believing in your business and
answering the questions asked. I have found that by entering the awards I
review what we are doing currently, what we shouldn't be doing and what we
could do in the future. Businesses evolve over the years as do customers requirements/expectations.
I work with a small team and it could be very easy to get
complacent and not progress the business but due to entering the awards
every few years, this doesn't happen.
We have never been prouder this year when we were
shortlisted for the B&B category for the Visit England National Awards....a trip to
Birmingham in our posh togs was fantastic and to be awarded Silver was the
icing on the cake! I am delighted to be second best....!"
