The Big Lemon has won another award – “Best in Responsible Transport” at the international Virgin Holidays Responsible Tourism Awards held in London on Wednesday.

The aim of the Responsible Tourism Awards is to celebrate innovation and inspire change – and in 9 years they have attracted over 11,000 nominations from members of the public, leading to 225 unique organisations awarded from 55 countries around the world.

The Big Lemon was chosen from over 1000 entries, winning jointly with another fruity transport business, a London-based private hire car service Green Tomato Cars.

Tom Druitt, Managing Director of The Big Lemon, said
“I’m immensely proud of the team here for achieving such a high standard and winning such a prestigious award. It’s hard work, but the dedication of the team in doing the best for our customers is second to none. I believe responsible business is the future and we will continue to push the boundaries of sustainable and responsible community social enterprise. I would like to thank our staff, passengers and supporters, and of course the judges for their recognition.”
