Akshata  said: “Family means everything to me. To visit Kidz Nursery and see how both local and military families benefit from such a nurturing environment was very special.

“I also loved visiting a family business at Mainsgill Farmshop, founded and run by Andrew and Maria Henshaw and their children, Jack and Rachel. A thriving local success story in diversification and creating opportunities for so many young people.”

Andrew Henshaw, owner of Mainsgill Farm, added: “We have run our family business since 2001 and it has been a pleasure welcoming Akshata here today, and Rishi previously.

“We really believe in growing and buying local, which is what you get at Mainsgill. It’s always a treat to get to show how well our apprentices are doing as well.”
