Wold Top won the sustainability/envrionment award, while Spirit of Yorkshire was named food and drink producer of the year.

Jenni Ashwood, marketing director at Spirit of Yorkshire Distillery and sister of Wold Top director, Kate Balchin, said: “It was strange competing against our sister company for the food and drink producer award, but fortunately both Kate and I share the view that a bit of sibling rivalry is healthy, and we were both delighted with the results.”

The two businesses have also reached the final of the York Press Business Awards. Wold Top Brewery has been shortlisted for the family business award and Spirit of Yorkshire for the small business award. The winners will be announced on 25th November at an event at York Racecourse.
