Richard Leedham, Berghaus brand president, comments: “This is great news for Berghaus. What makes this award so special is that it was voted for by the general public who take our kit to the setting for which it was designed. Readers of BBC Countryfile Magazine are big outdoor enthusiasts and the fact that Berghaus is their favourite brand to use while exploring the hills, valleys and coastlines of the UK is really heartening. Many thanks to everyone who voted for Berghaus and I can promise them that we have many more great products in the pipeline as we build up to our 50th birthday next year.”
Fergus Collins, editor of BBC Countryfile Magazine, adds: “This is our way of saying thank you to the people and places that make the countryside so special.
The awards clearly roused great passion and amassed thousands of votes, a testament to the strong contenders in each category. It was a closely fought competition generating great interest. Our winners can be justly proud of their titles – they have been endorsed as outstanding examples in their field by our readership.”
