On 12 May, Anthony’s Travel collected the Responsible Business Award at the Halton Business Awards at The Select Stadium, Widnes.
My mother Anne, who founded the company in 1985, my wife Dawn and youngest son Oliver attended the event with me.
Prior to the foundation of Anthony’s, my mother and father supported many local good causes and encouraged my brother David and me to have a similar outlook in life.
This became the ethos of Anthony’s Travel and many of the causes my parents supported became part of our policy.
We have shown that small businesses can make a real difference in the community they trade in. What they may lack in funding they can more than make up in passion and knowledge of their local area.
It was a real honour when the Halton Foundation asked me to be a keynote speaker at a recent event on responsible businesses, so collecting this award and being recognised locally for our small contribution to Halton was a proud moment.
