On Saturday 17th June 2023 we held our first DN Awards (DNA's) at Bellman Mill, Clitheroe.
We stopped production and deliveries to give all departments across both sites (Clitheroe & Speke) the opportunity to come together and enjoy an afternoon, giving well deserved recognition to staff for their invaluable contribution to Dugdale Nutrition.
All attendees enjoyed a delicious BBQ, inflatable footpool and bowling, a close up magician and drinks before the awards ceremony where 16 members of staff were recognised for their outstanding contribution to the business.
Sincere thanks goes to all those who attended and helped to make the day so special. We all look forward to the 2024 DNA's!
