Last week’s OnFARM podcast focused on encouraging rural businesses to share their stories of how they have helped communities and landscapes flourish, as nominations for the Helping It Happen Awards 2022 remain open. The Awards, run by Scottish Land & Estates, are now in their sixth year, again focusing on the key aim of recognising the role of estates, farms and rural businesses in enabling and supporting success in rural areas and helping rural Scotland to thrive.In the podcast, Sarah-Jane Laing, SLE Chief Executive, highlighted that not only are the awards a superb source of motivation for businesses and their teams, but also that past winners have seen increases in turnover since winning – reason enough to enter surely?!
The Helping it Happen Awards 2022 are supported by headline sponsors NatureScot this year and we also hear from them in the podcast, talking about why they believe the awards are so valuable for rural Scotland.
