Mackie's in running for business award | Quote: | MACKIE'S IN RUNNING FOR BUSINESS AWARD
08:50 - 21 September 2007
A North-east ice-cream firm that has vowed to become the most environmentally-friendly in Britain is in the running for a top business award.
Family-run Mackie's of Scotland ended its reliance on the national grid this summer with the commissioning of its third wind turbine at Westertown of Rothienorman.
The multimillion-pound investment made production at the rural complex a 100% renewable-energy operation.
The directors scooped a prestigious award for their continual green efforts at the Financial Times Environmental Awards ceremony in London on Wednesday night.
Now Mackie's is one of four UK companies shortlisted for the Morrisons Award for Outstanding Small Business at the IGD Food Industry Awards.
The annual award recognises the contribution of small businesses to the food industry and goes to firms demonstrating excellence in innovation or local sourcing, marketing or staff development. |
