Celebrations as Dugdale’s wins a business ‘Oscar’


by Vivien Meath


AN enterprising Clitheroe family firm has clinched a business "Oscar" - just two years after the ravages of foot and mouth. Dugdale Nutrition's sales manager


Ian Brown picked up the first ever Orange Bright Business Award at the National Business Awards in London. The business also collected a highly commended certificate in the Nation­ al Customer Focus category. The outbreak of foot and mouth dis­


ease in 2001 left many Ribble Valley farms flattened and animal feed suppli­ ers such as Dugdale's facing an uncer­ tain future. As family farms began to diversify


and sell-out to bigger premises, the Clitheroe company's customer base shrank. Along came sales manager Ian Brown


(44), who with the company's technical manager, Bryn Davies, designed and introduced the M3 programme Man­ agement for More than Milk. A consultancy package, M3 involved


three principles - inspection and evalua­ tion, reporting, and a strategic business plan. The inspection and evaluation pro-


ROGER DUGDALE, Ian Brown, Howard Blackburn at the awards ceremony (s)


gramme took into account every detail of customers' businesses, from inspecting each farmer's herd through to assessing each cow's history and production. The cow became the customer and,


by looking at the overall welfare of the end-user of its products, the company was able to offer excellent service to the


farmer, leading to its greatest business growth - more than 45% in a year. Dugdale Nutrition was the sole


agribusiness to be awarded recognition in the National Business Awards 2003. More than 2,000 entries were received in a competition acknowledged by the Chancellor of the Exchequer as the


UK's "Business Oscars." The presenta­ tions were staged at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London. The family-owned business has been


trading for more than 150 years and is focused on increasing its customers' profit and sustainability. Dugdale Nutrition's commitment to


the ruminant feed sector has led to a 100% increase in volume and sales turnover since foot and mouth disease recovery. The company is now on target to achieve a continual 20% annual growth. Furthermore, the company has


demonstrated its commitment to the industry and its growing workforce by reinvesting more than £lm. in the busi­ ness over the last three years, including state-of-the-art equipment and key per­ sonnel at its Clitheroe site. The judges commended Dugdale


Nutrition's commitment to staff, including the appointment of a team of highly-experienced nutritionists and the UK ruminant supply sector's first ever veterinary consultant. Managing director Howard Black­


burn described the award as "a wonder­ ful achievement for everybody at the company who has shown commitment to not only the business, but in putting customers and their requirements first."


Pair’s insight into horrors of Auschwitz


THE horrors of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland 60 years ago were brought into sharp focus'for two teenage pupils from a Ribble Valley school. Chris Moss, of Chaigley, and


Richard Hargreaves, of Buck­ inghamshire, both 17 and studying A-levels at Stonyhuret College, were among almost 300 young people who took part in a visit, organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust. Comprehensive, grammar


and public schools nationwide were invited to send two pupils on the one-day visit. A seminar was held before


the journey, so the young peo­ ple, who came from many dif­ ferent cultural and religious backgrounds, could meet each other and hear from a Holo­ caust survivor. “We all had preconceptions


of what Auschwitz would be like, and were expecting it to be


quite harrowing,” said Chris. “And it was horrific. We went


to Auschwitz, where we saw the museum with artefacts left when the camp was liberated. There were rooms filled with pairs of spectacles, with human hair - which caused a nauseat­


ing smell - and with 42,000 pairs of shoes. “I t was quite scary. After


that we saw the cells and went to the ‘death camp’ of Birke- nau, where the gas chambers were. This was the most memo­ rable for me in terms of images


- such as seeing the tracks for the trains that took in thou­ sands of people with their few belongings and ' came out empty.” Both Chris and Richard, who'


both want to study history at university, found it hard to comprehend the inhumanity of the Holocaust. Richard said: “It strikes you

that how could people do this to other human beings? - and that this inhumanity is still going on in parts of the world. “I wanted to go to Auschwitz


because I needed tp learn about it and this visit was the chance of a lifetime. We must remem­ ber these people who died or survived. Anyone younger than me won’t be able to meet Holo­ caust survivors, so i t ’s our responsibility to keep memories alive.” Pictured are Stonyhurst


pupils Chris Moss (left) and Richard Hargreaves. (S)

Local livery stables win BHS approval


A LOCAL livery stable has won approval from the British Horse Society. Gisburn Park Sta­ bles met all the stringent criteria to become a BHS Approved Livery Establishment. The BHS runs a system of approving livery


yards throughout the UK. Each establish­ ment is inspected, to ensure that it has a satis­ factory level of horse care, welfare and facili­ ties. A spokesman for the society commented: “Recommendation is not given lightly, and Gisbum Park Stables can be proud it has satis­ fied the BHS inspectors that it meets the required standard.” Speaking on behalf of Gisburn Park Stables,


Mr Nick Saville said: “We’re very, very pleased to get British Horse Society approval as there are so many yards being set up that don’t have the approval.” Mr Saville is managing director of Panama


Sport Horses, which is based at the Gisburn stables.
