MIDDLEWICH boatyard Andersen Boats has been recognised as the best boatyard in Britain.


Andersen Boats won the ‘Best in Britain’ and ‘Best on the Canals’ awards at the Hoseasons annual Gala Awards evening.


The ceremony showcased 62 of the best boatyards across the UK, with the Middlewich company being crowned the best of the lot.


David Hough, from Andersen Boats, said: “We’re delighted to win these awards. Every member of the Andersen Boats team is dedicated to making sure our customers have a great holiday experience, so it’s nice to know their hard work is appreciated.


“We love what we do and we’re looking forward to welcoming even more guests onto the water in 2015.”


The awards come in the same year that Hoseasons is celebrating its 70th anniversary.


Simon Altham, managing director for Hoseasons, said: “Winning these awards means Andersen Boats is among the best in our entire UK portfolio.”


“Their commitment to quality on the water is exactly what we have in mind when we say we offer our customers a better place to stay. We wish them all the best for another successful year in 2015.”


Andersen Boats’ awards were presented by Gail Mandel, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Wyndham Exchange & Rental – the parent company of Hoseasons.


The awards are broken down into region and type of holiday experience and presented to Hoseasons operators that have achieved the highest scores in customer satisfaction surveys.


Fiona Bruce MP added: "Congratulations to Andersen Boats - this well-deserved award has come after a great deal of hard work and I am proud to have such an excellent business in my constituency."
