Have you seen their trophy room?

Everyone's a winner

Another day, another award ceremony for Borehamwood’s most decorated technical pasta manageress, Elizabeth Huffin Howard.

I am not a man easily impressed (contrary to all rumours), and when Ugo Foods won Watford & North West London Small Business of the Year 2006, I was pleased for Liz, but not overly ecstatic. However, from small acorns do large oak trees grow, and after having come 5th in the Sunday Times Best Small Businesses to Work For awards earlier this month, Ugo Foods are now officially Good Eggs, as they were amongst the 12 UK winners of the inaugural Good Egg awards, no less, presented by Compassion in World Farming. The award ceremony was at the Houses of Parliament last night, with the guest of honour being Ben Bradshaw MP, Minister of State ( Local Environment, Marine and Animal Welfare). Liz received the award (and made a short speech without notes) on behalf of Ugo Foods and in front of a very proud husband after Google had received their award and just before Microsoft.

Which was nice.
