The Bath Pig - Producers of very fine British cured meats

We are extremely excited to be shortlisted for a couple of 2010 business awards this week. The RSPCA Good Business Awards and The HSBC Start Up Stars Award

David Bowles, RSPCA head of external affairs says: "This is the sixth year of the Good Business Awards and we want to reward the efforts being made by companies - both large and small - that go the extra mile to promote animal welfare and recognise that consumers haven’t left behind their values in a quest for value." The Award Ceremony is in London in October so we are keeping everything crossed.

The HSBC Start Up Stars Award is an equally prestigious affair. Noel Quinn, HSBC’s General Manager of Commercial Banking says: "Supporting businesses and the entrepreneurs who run them is vital to the growth of the British economy. So I’m delighted to invite you to play a crucial role in this year’s HSBC Start-Up Stars Awards and fly the flag for your region. By nominating local businesses, you will help support their endeavours, champion their achievements and ensure they receive the recognition they deserve."

We will of course let you know how we do, keep an eye on the Awards and our website.
