Family business shortlisted for three awards

The Downey family.

A family which owns a holiday site near Bedale is celebrating after being shortlisted for three awards at the Yorkshire & Humberside Family Business Awards.

The Downey family took over Osprey Meadow in 2021.

Phil, Lisa and Jude Downey say they have put their hearts and souls into transforming the site, which includes holiday cottages and camping.

Lisa said: “From day one our vision has been to offer other families relaxing good value, quality accommodation with space for everyone to enjoy themselves and create memories together.

“We are constantly adding new elements to the site with the latest being electric car charging points, an interactive fairy trail for the little ones and renovating a barn into an al fresco dining area.

“To be nominated for just one award would have been amazing but to be shortlisted for three is just wonderful.

“We are so proud of what we have managed to achieve in just over two years and to receive this recognition is the icing on the cake.”

The Yorkshire & Humberside Family Business Awards are organised and run by The Family Business Community and provide the opportunity to champion family business across Yorkshire and Humberside.

Winners will be announced on November 10 at a ceremony at the Majestic Hotel & Spa, Harrogate.
