A brother and sister from Bristol are celebrating after their blanket company was named among the best family businesses in the 海角视频.

Bethan and Joe John, who run The British Blanket Company, are 海角视频 finalists at the 2019 Natwest Great British Entrepreneur Awards.

The brother-and-sister team grew up in Somerset and moved to Bristol after leaving careers in e-commerce development and magazine journalism to set up their venture four years ago.

The British Blanket Company sells colourful wool throws and picnic rugs woven at traditional mills in the 海角视频 and Ireland.

The duo, who scooped the South West regional award, were acknowledged for their hard work and inspiring business journey.

Bethan said: "Winning Family Business of the Year is an amazing way to celebrate the passion and hard work my brother and I have put into building The British Blanket Company from scratch.

“When you're running a small business it can be difficult to stop and recognise how far you've come and it's wonderful to have The British Blanket Company in the spotlight."

Joe added: "Two-thirds of all British businesses are family-run. People are often surprised that siblings can successfully work together, but the dynamic has made our business strong because we have a lot of trust and shared ambitions for The British Blanket Company, yet different skills to bring day-to-day.
