04 Nov Wine Chateau Ltd Triumphs at NNBN Business Awards 2024: Bringing Moldovan Wines to the Heart of Northamptonshire
On the 4th of October, we had the privilege of attending the NNBN Business Awards 2024, an evening filled with celebration, connection, and well-deserved recognition for businesses across Northamptonshire. Hosted by the NNBN organisation, of which we are a proud founding member, this prestigious event showcased the impressive accomplishments of local businesses and charities, highlighting the resilience, creativity, and hard work within our community.
This year, we were thrilled to be shortlisted in the Food and Drink Business of the Year category, and even more so to take home the award! This achievement holds special significance for us, having been runner-up in the same category last year. To be recognised in such a meaningful way is a testament to our dedication to bringing Moldovan wines to UK wine lovers and to helping our customers discover wines that truly match their taste preferences.
The awards evening, organized with great care and dedication by Marie and Simon, founders of NNBN, was a wonderful opportunity for us to meet and connect with representatives from diverse Northamptonshire businesses. Their efforts in bringing together local businesses made the evening not only a celebration of individual successes but a genuine reinforcement of the strength within our business community. The spirit of the evening truly reflected the supportive nature of NNBN, whose initiatives are a driving force for the prosperity of businesses in our region.
