A HEREFORDSHIRE business has been recognised for its work by an African president.

Haygrove Ltd, a Ledbury horticultural business, was announced as one of 10 winners of this year’s World Business and Development Awards.

The recognition comes for its part in creating Gambia is Good, a fair trade horticultural marketing company in The Gambia.

Haygrove set up the business in 2004, in partnership with Concern Universal, and the award was presented by President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal.
