A PARTNERSHIP between Steeton-based Acorn Stairlifts and West Yorkshire Trading Standards has been recognised.

The Trading Standards service has provided support and training to the multi award-winning company for the past three years.

Now two nominations have been made in the Primary Authority Awards.

"She has always been proactive and supportive.

"Caroline is an excellent ambassador for the Primary Authority scheme.

"The two nominations demonstrate the successful partnership that Acorn and West Yorkshire Trading Standards enjoy, based on openness and transparency."
