The inaugural Rural Business Awards in 2015 was ably compered by Cherie Concannon at Stapleford Park, Leicestershire.

From an initial idea conceived over a farmhouse table in rural Leicestershire late in 2014, to the beautiful Stapleford park  – we are very proud of what we achieved in such a short space of time.

The aim of the Awards from the outset was to give recognition to businesses operating right across the Rural sector, from engineering through to artisan food producers and professional services organisations. We were delighted that so many finalists could attend the events, along with our sponsors.

Have a look at our deserving winners for 2015.
