A MERIDEN farm proved it was a cut above the rest when it was handed a top regional award.
The Barn at Berryfields won the Family Business Award at the HSBC UK West Midlands Small Business Growth Awards.
Delivered in partnership with the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), the awards recognise the vital role small businesses play in driving the UK economy and supporting communities nationwide.
The judges recognised The Barn at Berryfields for combining external expertise with family values and heritage as they continue to modernise the business.
Tom Barber, director at The Barn at Berryfields, said: “We’re incredibly grateful to have received the Family Business Award at this year’s HSBC UK Small Business Awards.
“As a fourth-generation family-run business, it’s important to us to protect what’s been built over the years, while continuing to grow and move forward.
“This award is a lovely reflection of all the hard work from the team, and it’s great to see that recognised.”
The business includes a two AA Rosette restaurant, cafe and pizzeria, butchery, bakery and private event spaces.
Over the past 12 months, The Barn at Berryfields has continued to grow, opening a 4-star hotel in August 2025 and achieving sustained revenue growth of 28 per cent.
Mark Lupton, regional director – SME Business Banking, West Midlands at HSBC UK, said: “We’ve worked alongside the team at The Barn at Berryfields for a number of years, supporting them as they look to drive the business forward.
“The team has great ambitions for the future so it’s great to see that being recognised alongside their ability to keep everything grounded in the values of the business.”
The awards, which launched at the beginning of the year for UK-based small businesses with fewer than 20 employees, are the latest initiative from HSBC UK to champion small businesses and put them in the spotlight.
