Stonehaven were delighted to have been nominated in two categories at this years Western Morning New Business Awards – Business of the Year and Family Business of the Year. The awards ceremony was held last Thursday at The Holiday Inn, Plymouth. Sadly, we were not winners in either category this year, but were so thrilled to be recognised as one of the most successful businesses in the Southwest region, and indeed, the only care provider to be nominated. We were also there to present the award for the Best Community Contribution, won by The Daisy Garland of Totnes, a charity offering help and support to those whose lives are touched by drug resistant epilepsy. Congratulations to all the worthy winners!
