Bijal Mistry, store manager, said: “I am delighted with this award. I have a tight-knit team of loyal and hardworking staff, many of whom have worked at Fryer’s for a number of years.

“We also have a loyal customer base who visit Fryer’s not only for the roses, for which we are renowned, but also because they know they can buy high-quality plants and products and receive excellent customer service.

“This is a fantastic achievement for all concerned.”
