Garbutt and Elliott managing partner, Russell Turner, said: “Judging was difficult because the calibre of both the entries and the businesses involved was extremely high.

“We were looking for businesses doing things in a different way and saw those who had bounced back from some incredible adversity, those who are ‘better together’ and those who are operating in a sustainable manner.

“Wold Top Brewery and Spirit of Yorkshire have shown their ability to navigate the world of business and thrive in an entrepreneurial and notoriously competitive sector.”
