“I am delighted to be shortlisted in the Midlands Family Business Awards. There has been a strong response from businesses across the East and West Midlands and so to be considered among the top entrants for the Director of the Year award is a huge honour”, Emma said.  “This coincides with the 20th anniversary of family ownership of the Petwood and so it is incredibly exciting to mark this with being a finalist in these fantastic awards which celebrate the successes of family-run businesses.”

New for this year is a People’s Choice award, sponsored by Streets Chartered Accountants, and the Petwood Hotel is included among the finalists. 

With a beautiful building in a glorious 30 acre setting in Woodhall Spa, the Petwood Hotel has a fabulous backdrop – as well as a fascinating history – which makes it a favourite venue for meetings and events. First the home for an Edwardian baroness and later the wartime home to the “Dambusters”, the Petwood’s rich heritage adds interest and character to an excellent venue which can cater for up to 200 delegates with breakout rooms, free Wi-Fi and ample free parking.
