Atalanta partner Coombe Castle International has announced that the company’s chairman, Mr. Woolley, was honored with a lifetime achievement award by the British Cheese Board.
“Coombe Castle has won many awards over the years, but this one means more than anything else because it’s recognition by my friends and comrades in the industry of the ambassadorial role I’ve always tried to play for British cheese,” Woolley said at an award ceremony at the Royal Bath and West Show late last month.
Woolley has spent 38 years in the English dairy industry and has taken great pride in seeing his dairies’ work exported throughout the world.
This prestigious honor comes only two months after the company was awarded the Queen’s Award for Enterprise, an annual award that honors companies engaged in international trade and other commerce. This is the third honor for Coombe Castle International, after winning the award in 2001, 2007 and now 2013. Mr. Wolley stated, “This award… not only reflects the dedication and commitment of the Coombe Castle team, but
also the loyality [sic] of our customers around the world and of our suppliers here in the UK.”
