A NEWLY established Kib­ ble Valley spring water com-


• pany has scooped a top award at the prestigious Food North­ west Awards. King Henry VI Spring Water


based in Bolton-by-Bowland won a new award, the Food North­ west Best New Regional Business Award, sponsored by Montpelier Chartered Accountants. After just five months of trad­


ing, King Henry VI Spring Water is now supplying its bottled water nationwide and is planning to double its work force in the next 12 months.


SPRING WATER SUCCESS: Christopher Bosonnet and his wife Joanne are pre­ sented with the award, (s)


water drawn from an ancient un­ derground spring on the Bolton Hall Estate, is run by Christopher Bosonnet and his wife, Joanne.


The company, which bottles ■ Joanne Bosonnet said: “As a


very young company we are de­ lighted to win this award - it is a real motivator for all of our team, who worked so hard to get it off theground.” • King Henry VI Spring Water


started out by supplying Lanca­ shire restaurants, delis and coffee houses within a 60-mile radius. As production has grown it is now distributing its spring water nationwide, through a partner or-


■ ganisation, with the first delivery being made in London earlier this month. Export to Spain, Dubai, France, Singapore and America is under negotiation. Christopher’s family took over


the ownership of the Bolton-by- Bowland estate in 1866, but the water from the natural spring is said to have been first discovered by Henry VI more than 500 years ago, when the King was staying in the area, following his defeat at the Battle of Hexham, during


A HOSPITAL patient left brain damaged by a road accident assaulted a care worker who had accompanied him outside for a cigarette,


Preston Crown Court heard that on the


way back to his ward at the Royal Black­ burn Hospital, Tyrone Bridges touched the woman’s private parts. But the court was also told that people who sustain acute brain injury can often behave in a “disinhibited and inappropriate man­ ner”. After hearing the case, Judge Jonathan


Gibson gave the 38-year-old defendant a 12-month conditional discharge, describ­ ing the case as “wholly exceptional”. He added: “I have nothing, but sympathy for the woman who was assaulted. It is an extremely difficult task to be working in hospital.”

pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault. He had been due to face trial for alleged sexual assault, but the Crown Prosecution Service put the alternative charge when Bridges appeared at court on June 23rd. It had concluded that, in all the circumstances, it was not in the public interest to pursue a trial for alleged sexual assault. Last September Bridges was admitted


to the Royal Blackburn Hospital after be­ ing involved in a road traffic accident in which suffered a brain injury. Miss Jane Dagnall (prosecuting) said a


number of staff cared for him. The wom­ an he assaulted had been made aware that he needed one-to-one supervision and should be escorted at all times. The offence took place on October lOth after Bridges asked to go outside for

made a complaint, which was picked up by the police and investigated. Bridges was discharged from hospital on


October 18th and arrested two days later. He said he had no recollection of the inci­ dent, that he wouldn’t have done what was alleged and that the woman might have been mistaken. Mr Joe Boyd (defending) said: “He made it absolutely clear to all nursing staff and


professionals that he apologised, though he could not remember. He apologised for any inconvenience caused.” Judge Gibson told Bridges while pass­


ing sentence: “I want to make it perfectly clear that assaults on hopsital staff can­ not be tolerated. They often result in im­ mediate custody.” '■ But the judge added: “It seems to me


your case is wholly exceptional”, refer­ ring to a consultant neurologist’s report which said it was not uncommon for peo­ ple with acute brain injuries to behave in a disinhibited and inappropriate man­ ner. ■ -
