A BROMSGROVE dog walking business said it was ‘truly humbled’ after winning a top award.
Beacon Barkers scooped Dog Walking Business of the Year at the Pet Industry Federation Awards held last Thursday.
The firm also achieved finalist positions in the Dog Grooming Business of the Year and Kennels of the Year categories.
These achievements place Beacon Barkers in the top one per cent of pet businesses in the country, as recognised by the Pet Industry Federation.
Founded during the early days of the pandemic in 2020, Beacon Barkers launched its dog walking service to support key workers such as paramedics and nurses who were working tirelessly on the front lines.
It now offers tailored walks for dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as professional dog grooming, pet sitting at home, and comfortable kennel boarding for pets.
Darron Burness, owner of Beacon Barkers, said: “Winning Dog Walking Business of the Year is an incredible honour, and being finalists in two other categories is beyond what we imagined.
“To be recognised among the best 1 per cent of pet businesses in the UK is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.
“We started this journey to help key workers during a challenging time, and to see how far we’ve come is truly humbling.”
