Spirit of Yorkshire managing director and co-founder David Thompson said: “We are delighted to win this award, especially when you consider that we’re a relatively young business.

“It’s testament to our team that we were one of only 24 businesses in England to win a Welcome Award for the warmth of our welcome. This win stands us in good stead to build on our visitor offering.”
