Eco-friendly campsite gets royal stamp of approval

The team at Camp de Reves collected the award on Tuesday evening

An "eco-friendly" campsite has been presented with Guernsey's first King's Award for Enterprise.

Camp de Reves, run by owners Danny and Jane Barnes, collected the prize in the sustainable development category during a presentation at Government House on Tuesday evening.

It is considered a royal seal of approval for Britain's "most outstanding businesses", and allows them to display the award flag.

The St Pierre du Bois-based business became the first from island to scoop the prize when the results were announced back in May.

The St Pierre du Bois-based business joined 198 other companies nationwide to be recognised

The King's Award noted: "Camp de Reves glampsite uses eco-friendly practices and materials, minimising environmental impact while offering a luxury experience.

"I was delighted to present this award to Danny and Jane Barnes, who richly deserve this very special accolade," said Lieutenant Governor Sir Richard Cripwell.

"This is a first for Guernsey and I am confident that, on the back of Camp des Rêves success, many more of the excellent and innovative businesses we have in Guernsey will enter for the King's Award for Enterprise in the future."
