One of Ward Goodman’s newest clients, Double H Nurseries Ltd were delighted to win not one but two awards at the fifth annual awards scheme for New Forest based businesses. The event hosted by The New Forest Business Partnership (NFBP) aims to celebrate the achievements of local business and highlight good practice.
This year’s award ceremony was divided up into six categories, with the winner from each receiving an award commissioned by a local crafts person and a year’s free membership to the NFBP. Award categories included; Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Best New Business, Best Use of Online Technology, Training and Development, Sustainable Business and Outstanding Customer Service with one of the businesses who win a category award being named The NFBP Business of the Year.
Double H Nurseries Ltd Directors and Staff were delighted that all their hardwork throughout 2010 meant that they had received a nomination from clients and local businesses for The New Forest National Park Authority Green Leaf Sustainable Business Award. The New Milton based Nursery grows and supplies flowering houseplants to the major supermarkets including Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury and Tesco. The business works closely with the Carbon Trust and has introduced a significant number of initiatives in recent times to improve the sustainability of the business environmentally, economically and socially.
Double H’s dedication to reducing their carbon footprint and looking at new ways to ensure their business is sustainable was rightfully recognised with The New Forest National Park Authority awarding them with The Green Leaf Sustainable Business Award. Paul Mincham and Charlotte Lowcock, who represented Double H Nurseries at the award ceremony, were delighted to receive the award on their company’s behalf and the elation continued when it was announced that they had also won The New Forest Business Partnership Business of the year award.

This award will be a great encouragement to the owners and employees to continue to develop their green credentials”.
With the ever expanding success of their business, new initiatives planned for the long term sustainability of the business due for launch in 2011 and the NFBP awards driving them forward the future looks bright for Double H.
