Carrieanne Bishop, National Chair of LACA, and awards host and TV presenter Dr David Bull presented the coveted award to Cool Milk’s founder Jon Thornes MBE and his team. John Sedgwick, Cool Milk’s Managing Director, said: “We believe in offering excellent customer service as well as helping to educate schools on the health benefits of drinking milk mid-morning. We worked closely with all of our customers including Hampshire County Council to ensure that all schools complied with new School Food Standards that came into force in January 2015.”
