A bar and cellar management specialist based in Thetford, Norfolk, Avani Solutions helps to deliver high quality pints by protecting beer quality, raising hygiene standards and providing data to pubs across the UK.

The business’ nationwide team of 50 professionals works closely with brewers and brand owners, offering a complete range of services and delivering its WasteWatchers! and Beerista training programmes to educate publicans on how to reduce waste, build confidence and make informed decisions.

Its vision is that ‘one day, every pint served will be perfect’.

The judges recognised Avani’s “pioneering focus on reducing beer waste in the UK hospitality sector”.

They said that, “by addressing this overlooked issue head-on, Avani sets a scalable model for best practice in licensed venues – from pubs to large groups”.

Established in 2004, Bridge Classic Cars in Pettistree, Suffolk, is built on a passion for classic vehicles and ensuring that future generations get to admire them.

The business operates a full in-house service, including restorations, tuning and engine rebuilds, automotive electrics, service and repairs, body preparation and paintwork, interior trim work and more.

It also offers weekly competitions, where anyone can win their dream classic car, run on P1 synthetic fuels, for just a few pounds, alongside a packed calendar of events.

The judges were particularly impressed by the business’ Rilee & Friends campaign, which educates on sustainable fuels and recycling in classic car restoration.

Its initiatives “foster long-term shifts toward resource efficiency” and encourages the classic car industry “to embrace sustainability and net-zero goals”.

Greenyard Frozen UK comprises two sites: one in King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and the other in Boston, Lincolnshire. It is one of the largest suppliers of British-grown produce to the UK frozen market, with most crops (80%) grown intensively within 30 miles of the factories.

Sustainability is a passion of founder Hein Deprez, who launched the business in 1983. Hein’s realisation that waste was generated from not selling all product to the fresh market led to innovation, and today sustainability is embedded in Greenyard’s core.

The judges praised Greenyard’s “sustained, transformative focus on long-term energy and water reduction in frozen produce processing”.

They said that its “embedded operational shifts demonstrate profound behavioural change beyond compliance”, which inspires the wider industry to “adopt scalable, impactful sustainability models for lasting environmental benefits”.
