A Great Honour from the Deepings Business Community
The Deepings Business Awards, hosted by Chairman Andy Pelling and Vice-Chair Nick Ash, began in 2016. Since then, the event has become a key celebration of local businesses. Each year, it recognises companies that provide excellent service and contribute to the community. Winning these awards means a lot to us because it reflects our deep connection with Market Deeping.
We’re proud to be part of such a supportive community. This recognition drives us to keep improving and offering the best products and service.
Our Team’s Dedication Shines
Will Bowell, our Retail Manager, expressed his pride in our team’s success:
“It’s a fantastic achievement. The whole team is immensely proud. I’m thrilled to see the hard work of our whole team pay off. It is a win for the whole team but would like to say thank you to our two managers, Liam Dalton and Jack Tomlinson, who have worked hard to create a great shopping experience and working atmosphere for the whole team.”
Liam and Jack’s leadership has been crucial to our success. Under their guidance, our butcher’s and deli have become popular destinations. Their commitment to creating a welcoming atmosphere and maintaining high standards is clear in everything they do.
