We are pleased to announce that James Dodson, CEO and founder of VineWorks, has been shortlisted in the Contractor of the Year category for the British Farming Awards 2023.
The BFA is hosted by Agriconnect, the parent company of Farmers Guardian, Arable Farming, LAMMA and many other agricultural brands.
The awards recognise British farmers and agricultural businesses for their commitment, resilience and innovation to an industry that consistently serves the nation.
“This is the first time we have been shortlisted for an industry award. Our whole team is really chuffed to have our work recognised. We entered the British Farming Awards 2023 as recognition for our own achievements, but also to advocate for the UK’s growing viticulture industry. We want to generate awareness of viticulture amongst existing landowners as a viable way to diversify their crops and income stream,” explains Chris Buckley, Business Director of VineWorks.
James Dodson, CEO and Founder of VineWorks says, “As a business owner myself, I’ve worked hard to evolve our offer to respond to the rapidly emerging challenges that our clients face (e.g., labour services, mechanisation, climate, supply chain, fruit brokering). It’s our mission to help vineyard owners create and maintain businesses that are sustainable both environmentally and financially. I’m so proud our team has been singled out as a candidate for the Contractor of the Year award. It motivates us to continue to work hard to support the UK wine industry to grow, ONE VINE AT A TIME.”
