A caravan park in Billington, Lancashire has been praised yet again for its eco-friendly approach to tourism, picking up the Green Business of the Year award at the Lancashire Evening Post Green Awards.

During the last six months the Hackings Holiday Caravan Park has picked up numerous awards, including a gold David Bellamy Conservation Award and a gold medal in the North West in Bloom awards.

However, the latest accolade to be heaped on the park stands it out not just as an exceptional caravan park but as a leader in the field of eco-business too.

Run by the Hackings family, their home was also named Best Green Household in the awards, the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times reported.

Naturally ecstatic about winning so much praise, Linden Hackings, who manages the park with his mother, wife and son, said his team are passionate about the environment and happy to work hard for it.

“We are delighted our contribution to the environment has been recognised with so many awards,” he told the newspaper.

“Here at Hackings we are a family business with deep roots in the community and with a great affection for the landscape.”

In the last year, over 620 caravan parks across the UK have been presented with David Bellamy Conservation Awards.
