Killinghall awnings company wins national business award
Harrogate business Glawning Ltd has been named microbusiness of the year at the Federation of Small Businesses awards.
Glawning, which sells awnings and accessories for campervans, was set up in 2013 by husband and wife James and Sarah Martin.
Since then, the company has flourished, and last year turned over more than £500,000.
The annual awards, which celebrate the best of small business and entrepreneurship, attracted more than 3,000 entries from the UK.
Glawning won the Yorkshire award before defeating 12 other regional finalists at yesterday's event in Glasgow, which was hosted by TV presenters Clare Balding and JJ Chalmers.
Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was also there to address the nominees.
