Congratulations to Philip Price of Loch Visions at Kilchrenan in Argyllshire, for adding the UK Enterprise title to his Scottish title. Philip's big win was announced at a House of Lords reception on 18th March and his delight was evident. Philip beat off competition from fellow Enterprise finalists from across England and Wales to emerge as the top British Enterprise of 2008. Other Scottish winners from Delfour Trout Hatchery, Tom S Ironside and Bridge of Cally Post Office also attended the reception and enjoyed a beautiful spring day in London where they met several Scottish Parliamentarians.
