CRICKET DAY FUNDRAISER AMBASSADORS’ CASH BOOST
Worcestershire Ambassadors held a special platinum jubilee cricket day at New Road in May and raised a staggering £20,000 for county-based charities.
Two hundred guests attended, including Lord Lieutenant Patrick Holcroft (President of Worcestershire Ambassadors) and recently appointed High Sheriff of the county Andrew Manning Cox who is also a director of the cricket club and a Worcestershire Ambassador.
There were many local businesses bringing guests who enjoyed the sunshine and an excellent day of cricket. Over lunch former captain and local hero Daryl Mitchell talked about his career, over 20 years with the club and also his current work with the Professional Cricketers Association.
Organiser Tracey Hopkins said: “We were delighted to not only have raised such a fantastic sum but knowing that all our guests enjoyed a great day.”

QUEEN’S AWARDS WINNERS BUSINESSES HONOURED
The winners of this year’s Queen’s Awards for Enterprise were announced on the Queen’s Birthday. The high-profile awards honour businesses that have demonstrated excellence in the fields of international trade, innovation, sustainable development and promoting social mobility.
In this, the Platinum Jubilee year, five Worcestershire businesses have been awarded the accolade out of a total of 232 businesses nationally.
Since they were first created by Royal Warrant in 1965, the Queen’s Awards for Enterprise have become the most prestigious form of recognition a British company can receive and are designed to acknowledge and encourage outstanding achievements demonstrated by UK businesses.
The winners were Creative Communications Agency DRPG, Excool
Limited based in Bromsgrove, Pharma Packaging Systems Ltd, Broadway’s Little Soap Company and Bromsgrove based Proteus Instruments.
DRPG’s award was for sustainable development, one of only 31 businesses nationally, and the first time a media agency has achieved the Queen’s Award for sustainable development.
DRPG CEO Dale Parmenter comments: “Winning the Queen’s Award for Sustainable Development has already reaped benefits, after three attempts to finally be recognised this has firstly made the team so proud of our achievement and secondly from our clients and our industry, the response has been incredible, although we have many different sustainability accreditations, the Queen’s Award is the one which stands out and people get excited about globally.”
Louise Hewett, Deputy Lieutenant of Worcestershire, who heads up the Queens Awards team in Worcestershire said: “To achieve five 2022 Queen’s Awards winners in our county is excellent and reflects the diverse and outstanding quality of businesses that continue to emerge and grow in Worcestershire. Huge congratulations to all the winners of the most prestigious business award in the UK.”
