Our comments
“We’re absolutely delighted to have won not just one but three awards. We’re a small but growing company and our hope is that the Great Taste Stars will help us when speaking to potential new retailers. Naturally, we think our products are fantastic. As do our loyal customers. But, winning awards will hopefully give confidence to those who haven’t discovered us yet. The confidence that the experts tend to agree!” says Grant, on a quick break from cider-making.
