“ It was a great pleasure to present the King’s Award for Enterprise trophy and certificate (signed by The King) to Berrington Spring Water today. This is only the second time that a Herefordshire business has won this award in the ‘innovation’ category. It is the most prestigious award for a UK business.

The company contributes significantly to the local economy providing important jobs and using local suppliers as much as possible. I am delighted that such a thriving and innovative company is based in our wonderful county.”
