Mercury Business Awards 2020 winners finally get their trophies
The winners of our Mercury Business Awards for 2020 finally have their hands on their unique trophies.
Each of our 11 winners received a trophy made from slate kindly supplied by Clipsham Stone Cutting Company, and wood supplied by Viking Signs.
And coincidentally, Susie Nottingham who runs Clipsham Stone Cutting Company with husband Martin, was able to see one of the trophies being handed over after she arrived for a takeaway at The March Hare Bakery and Tea Rooms as owner Amy Roberts was being photographed outside!

Due to Covid-19 restrictions many of our sponsors were unable to make the presentations so Mercury editor Kerry Coupe had the honour of delivery the trophies in a covid-secure way.
Rafi’s Spicebox in Goodramgate closed after announcing its decision in a Facebook post. The company said the York site will be one of four of the group’s shops to close – those in Sudbury, Harrogate and Leeds will also close for the short term. They said: “We have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our York, Sudbury, Harrogate and Leeds stores from Sunday, January 10. “As the nation enters another lockdown we are encouraging all of our loyal customers to continue to shop small and support local businesses where possible. “We are incredibly fortunate that our Mail Order department will remain fully operational so you can still order your favourite Rafi’s Spicebox curries direct to your door.”
