All were very worthy finalists and George Workman MD of Cotteswold Dairy was delighted that Cotteswold dairy was announced the overall winner of the ‘Dairy Food Provider of the Year’ category and remarked ‘We were thrilled even to be shortlisted in this category and to win was just fantastic. This is a real credit to our welsh farmers who supply us with top quality milk and all our staff for helping produce our products and provide a great delivery service all over Wales. Our Dragon brand of milk and Cream are widely recognised and extremely popular throughout Wales. We would also like to thank all our very loyal Customers’.
Andy Ward, depot manager of North Wales and Gwyn Roberts, Sales Manager for Wales, were both immensely proud to win and collect the award on stage with George.
‘I would like to say that the award, which hopefully will be the first of many is the recognition for a lot of hard work and commitment by the whole North Wales team.’ commented Andy Ward.
