Salute to tireless couple for 14 years of hard work

Scottish Daily Express

December 05, 2025

REGIONAL winners Laura and Andrew Binns scooped a £5,000 prize for their efforts to make their shop the beating heart of their village community.

Laura, 38, and Andrew, 37, have been running the Dacre Village Store in Dacre Banks, Harrogate, for 14 years - opening seven days a week for almost 12 hours a day.

They take Christmas Day off together and no more than one week's holiday a year, but Laura loves running the business, which was her sweet shop when she was a little girl.

In spite of their schedule, the couple find the time to organise charity events, Halloween trails for kids and fun days at the end of every summer holiday.
