NewsNatures Corner triumphs in Thames Valley Small Business Awards25 November 2005 John Humphrys presents Natures Corner with Small Business Award 2005 Natures Corner, Newbury's largest and only independent healthfood store, has won the prestigious 2005 Thames Valley Small Business Award. 
The award, sponsored by The Business Magazine and The Federation of Small Businesses, highlights the importance of small and medium-sized businesses to the regional economy and recognises companies with good performance, management and practice, creativity, innovation and potential for growth. John Humphrys of the BBC Today programme presented the award to Lisa Eastley representing Natures Corner at the Awards Dinner at The Wentworth Club on 24 November 2005. Commenting on Natures Corner's win David Murray Editor of The Business Magazine and Chair of the Judging Panel said: "We had more entries for the Small Business Award than any other category and the calibre was high. Natures Corner was outstanding for its enthusiasm, creativity, innovation and obvious success." Liz Chandler, co-owner of Natures Corner, said: "We've had several awards from within the healthfood sector, and so I believe this recognition from the wider business community reflects well on healthfood retailing. The short-listed finalists reflected a variety of businesses: digital printers, a marketing agency, a new media agency and a road safety specialist. We were thrilled to reach the finals – and ecstatic at winning!"
