Delighted staff at a Burnham-On-Sea craft shop are celebrating this week after scooping a top award in a national competition for an eighth year running.
At the British Craft Awards in Birmingham, Material Needs in Burnham High Street was named ‘South West Stitching Retailer Of The Year’ and the coveted award for ‘Overall Stitching Retailer in the UK for 2014’.
The shop’s owners, John and Katharine Edwards, told Burnham-On-Sea.com this week they are “extremely proud ” to have won the award, which they received during a ceremony.
John said: “We are really chuffed and proud that Material Needs has been recognised in this way once again. It is a tremendous achievement, not only for us at the shop, but for Burnham as well.”
“It’s all thanks to the hard work of our staff who are dedicated to serving the needs of customers, plus the considerable support of our customers. A big thank you once again goes to all those who voted for us – we are very grateful.”
