CELEBRATION swept through two Hampshire holiday parks after they scooped a sparkling award.
Hoburne Holiday Parks, which runs Hoburne Naish and Hoburne Bashley in the New Forest, has been named South West Family Business of the Year.
It comes after the family-run business went head to head with 98 firms from across the UK after it was shortlisted in two categories.
The company, which dates back to May 1912, now runs seven holiday parks across the south.
Chairman Rosie Kennar said: “It’s wonderful to win this award, particularly in the company of so many impressive and longestablished family businesses from right across the country.
"I am so proud of our talented teams from across the parks and at group services and this award is testament to their hard work and dedication.
“All of our seven holiday parks are in the south west and the incredible coastal and countryside locations we are blessed with are the foundations on which our business has flourished.
"We have quality accommodation and facilities and wonderfully loyal guests and owners and thanks must go to all of them too.”
