They have both been presented with past awards at the Pride of Andover Awards for their involvement within the local community.

Donna said: "The Pride of Andover Awards mean a lot to both Nickie and me having won awards ourselves. One of our proudest achievements is our business, which we hope will inspire our own children to always work hard, never give up on what they love and achieve their own goals.

"There are so many inspirations in our town that we know our job as judges will be so hard. But it really means the world to us to be able to give back to our home town. If you know of someone that deserves the recognition and an award for their inspiring actions and commitment within our community, then please nominate them."
