The team at a Bradford-based garden centre group is celebrating after winning a regional business award for its sustainability initiatives.

Yorkshire Garden Centres, owner of Tong, Tingley, Bingley and Otley Garden Centres, plus Dean's York and Scarborough, won the Sustainability category of the Yorkshire Post Excellence in Business Awards that were presented last week.

Yorkshire Garden Centre's FD, Charlie Barker, received the award at a ceremony at Headingley Stadium that was hosted by BBC Look North anchor Amy Garcia.

Charlie said: "We're working hard to provide a sustainable future for the next generations and to encourage people to garden sustainably and with wildlife in mind, so we're delighted that our initiatives have been recognised with this prestigious award."

Yorkshire Garden Centres beat stiff competition from Ambion Heating, Burendo, instantprint, The Bio-D Company and Zenith to win the Sustainability Award.
