Government crowns Gloucestershire firm the best in the UK

A Gloucestershire business has been singled out for praise by the Government as the very best in the UK - as a quite simply exceptional exporter. And it’s not in a sector you might think of either!

Dear readers,

Thank you for your patience over the last two weeks as I enjoyed a little time off.

It was back to work at the end of last week though, beavering away on stories ready for today and beyond ahead.

I actually came across the lead article below before I took my break, and it seems to have passed everyone else by still - so I thought we really should share the news.

As a journalist of 25 years covering the county I’ve been lucky enough to follow the story of this business and the career of its now chief executive officer, Steve Munnoch, and he was good enough to pick up the phone and confirm everything I’d heard.

And before I sign off, I’d just like to wish Kieran Bradley from Randall & Payne all the very best for his commute next week - 75 miles on foot, in aid of charity! You can read that below too.

Have a great week.

Andrew.
