The World of James Herriot in Thirsk has today won Gold in the coveted SCOOT Headline Awards.
The annual SCOOT Awards is one of the most prestigious business awards in the UK that recognises and rewards the successes and achievements of British businesses, large and small. Actress and TV personality Ebony Feare presented the award to Ian Ashton, managing director of The World of James Herriot.
SCOOT, the leading online business directory, is keen to help local, regional and national businesses to maximise their commercial potential by bringing them and their achievements to the attention of a massive new audience.
“This is a real boost for the World of James Herriot which welcomes guests from all over the world. The SCOOT Gold Headline Award follows hotly on the heels of our recent Highly Commended Award in the Welcome to Yorkshire White Rose Awards and the launch of the James Herriot Statue and Legacy Fund. To have been successful against such stiff national competition is testament to the tremendous efforts that our team at The World of James Herriot make in delivering a quality visitor experience”, comments The World of James Herriot managing director and chairman of the Herriot Country Tourism Group, Ian Ashton.
