Anthony’s Travel is celebrating after being crowned winner of this years’ Corporate Social Responsibility Award at Cheshire Business Awards 2014.
Held in Chester Cathedral on Friday, October 3 and hosted by ITV’s Lucy Meacock, the judges spent over 80 hours selecting worthy winners in 10 award categories.
In what the judges said was one of the most competitive awards, they said: “Anthony’s Travel demonstrates an amazing amount of community based activity across a range of organisations and charities. It was a really strong entry, and they have really gone the extra mile.”
Richard Bamber, Partner of Anthony’s Travel, commented: “It’s amazing that a company my father founded with one minicoach in 1985 has been deemed worthy of such an honour.
“We are very proud of our routes within Halton and Cheshire and our family ethos has always been to help others, which has been the foundation of our business. Each one of the wide selection of community partnerships we believe in and don’t simply pay lip service.
“Hopefully what we have done as a small company with limited resources can inspire other small businesses to make a difference in the community they trade in.”
Joining Anthony’s Travel at the evening ceremony was a number of its community partners.
This is second time that the operator has received an honour for its work within the community. In March 2012, the company received the prestigious Chester High Sheriffs Award for Corporate Social Responsibility.
