Tusker has been named growing business of the year (large business category) at the Growing Business Awards.

The awards, created by Real Business Magazine and held in association with Lloyds Bank and supported by the CBI, recognise SME and entrepreneurial success.

Tusker received the award after being judged on several key criteria, including market leadership, consistent profitable growth and scalability of the business. 

The judges were also looking for evidence of a positive impact on industry, undeniable customer engagement and product and service innovation. 

As the winner, Tusker successfully demonstrated best practice in customer service, excellence in people management, workforce motivation, and a commitment to sustainability and the local community.

David Hosking, chief executive officer for Tusker, said: “The things that we pride ourselves on: customer service, people management and our impact on the environment, were exactly what the judges were looking for so it’s satisfying to hear they feel we do these things exceptionally well.”
