The awards, organised by Paramount Creative, recognise hardworking business owners who go the extra mile to ensure their customers are offered a fair and exceptional service during the most difficult time of their lives.
Organisers believe that all businesses involved within the funeral service deserve recognition for the very difficult, emotional and heart felt service they provide to everybody day in day out, 365 days of the year.
Colin said the initial email which informed him of the nomination had been a surprise, but he was grateful to those who had put the business forward.

Colin has been in the funeral industry for 20 years and opened the business in Brightons in 2011. He added his thanks to everyone who has supported him over the years contributing to this award success.
