De Vere Horsley Estate awarded 2026 Surrey Hills Gold Award

Surrey Hills Enterprises is delighted to announce that De Vere Horsley Estate has been named the recipient of the 2026 Surrey Hills Gold Award, our highest accolade recognising a member business that has demonstrated outstanding collaboration, sustainability and commitment to supporting the Surrey Hills business community.

Over the past year, De Vere Horsley Estate has become a shining example of what collaboration can achieve. Through partnerships with fellow members, local producers, charities and industry organisations, the venue has consistently brought businesses together while championing the Surrey Hills as a destination — from networking events and industry showcases to supporting local suppliers through food experiences, wellbeing activities and destination marketing.

Maggie Howell, CEO of Surrey Hills Enterprises, said: “De Vere Horsley Estate truly embodies everything the Surrey Hills Gold Award represents. Throughout the past year, they have consistently gone above and beyond to bring people together, champion fellow members and showcase the Surrey Hills through meaningful partnerships. Their commitment to collaboration has strengthened our business community and created opportunities that benefit not only individual businesses but the wider Surrey Hills economy.”

Alongside the Gold Award, we celebrated members whose collaborations have made a significant impact through the Collaboration Hero Awards. The 2026 Collaboration Heroes are Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, Porky Whites, Vineyards of the Surrey Hills, Mandira’s Kitchen, Silent Pool Distillers, Squire’s Garden Centres, Hall Hunter, Hogs Back Brewery, The Boathouse Café and Hurtwood Inn.

The awards formed part of the annual Surrey Hills Enterprises Summer Party, hosted this year at Gate Street Barn, where members came together to celebrate another successful year of collaboration, networking and business growth. Photography credit: Berties Photography.
