New Forest Escapes is celebrating after winning both The New Forest National Park Authority Award for Sustainable Business of the Year and The Chewton Glen Award for New Forest Business of the Year at the New Forest Brilliance in Business Awards 2024.
Jane Wilkinson, Owner of New Forest Escapes, says: “We are really chuffed to be honoured this way! This is the very first award that New Forest Escapes has won, and to win not only our category but be selected for representing ‘Brilliance in Business’ in the New Forest is the loveliest surprise.”
The New Forest National Park Authority Award for Sustainable Business of the Year was awarded to New Forest Escapes due to its understanding of the business’s responsibility to drive environmental improvements within their industry, support the New Forest environment and create a greener, more sustainable service.
The Chewton Glen Award for New Forest Business of the Year was awarded to New Forest Escapes as the category winner which best represents ‘Brilliance in Business’ in the New Forest this year.
Jane continues: “The New Forest Business of the Year Award is very special as we have been chosen by the people who work around us and with us. It is amazing to have this recognition for the team, and we share our success with all the people we work with. “These Awards are an indicator of the value and service we provide to our customers, owner hosts and our local community, as well as our most important stakeholder – the New Forest.” “This success has also kick-started our year – which starts on 1st October for us. We are a little business that’s growing in the right way!”
From its beginnings, New Forest Escapes has put community, environment, service and sustainability at the forefront of the business. We have adopted a ‘Greener & Greater’ ethos that encourages and supports owner hosts and guests to join the team on a greener, more sustainable journey that delivers benefits to the New Forest economy and environment, from greener cleaning initiatives to reducing waste, and increasing biodiversity in gardens to championing local suppliers.
These Awards recognise that being green is not only good for people and good for the environment, but good for business.
