Celebrating 50 years at Rosehill!

On Friday 6th September we invited our staff along to The Auctioneer to help us celebrate 50 years at Rosehill Estate.

We marked this momentous event with cake and refreshments.

Back in the summer of 1974, we were one of the first businesses to move in to new premises on the newly formed trading estate, alongside H&H.

The estate has since flourished with the addition of hundreds of business, including our flagship foodstore in 2019 and latterly the head office of Armstrong Watson.

We thought we just have a little trip down memory lane with some old images of our […]

We’ve been a long-standing supporter of Sage Gateshead for over five years now and we’re delighted to be renewing our partnership.

Cumbria Life Awards 2023

For the second year running, Cumbria Life Awards were held to acknowledge and honour the wonderful people who are behind the businesses that make Cumbria a great place to live, visit and dine!

We were delighted, once again, to support the event by sponsoring the ‘Best Casual Dining Experience’ category.

This year’s event was held on Thursday 14th September at Carus Green Golf Club, Kendal and was attended by the shortlisted finalists. All the finalists were voted by the Cumbria Life readers which makes this event so special. To be nominated by customers and supporters rather than a panel of judges certainly make the accolade significant!
