Porky Whites and Squire’s Garden Centres, have been recognised as Surrey Hills Enterprises 2026 Collaboration Heroes, celebrating the success of their partnership and commitment to supporting local businesses and championing Surrey produce.

The Collaboration Hero Awards recognise organisations that embrace the Surrey Hills Enterprises’ ethos of working together, supporting one another and creating opportunities that benefit both members and the wider community. The awards were presented at the Surrey Hills Enterprises Summer Party at Gate Street Barn earlier this month.

Launched in October 2025, the partnership saw Squire’s introduce Porky Whites’ award-winning Surrey sausages and an exclusive handmade sausage roll to its Café Bar menus, bringing together two three-generational family businesses with strong Surrey roots and a shared passion for quality British produce.

Paul Larson, Head of Restaurants & Retail Food at Squire’s Garden Centres, comments:‍

"We are delighted that our partnership with Porky Whites has been recognised through this award. As two long-established Surrey family businesses, we share many of the same values - supporting fellow local businesses, championing quality, locally sourced products. Working together has enabled us to offer our customers something really special while strengthening ties within our local business community."

Fran Wyatt, Managing Director of Porky Whites, added:
