When the Eagle and Child Pub in Ramsbottom won an award from the Observer for the Best Sunday Lunch in 2013 they were presented with an amazing gold chocolate award made by celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal. The only downside was that chocolate doesn't tend to last too long. 

Opportunity knocked for Chamber member Alexis Valentine, who was asked to recreate the award but this time in glass. Alexis runs Rossendale based Walking on Glass www.walkingonglass.co.uk and specialises in creating bespoke engraved glass awards and gifts and has grown his business after being mentored via the Chamber as part of their New Enterprise Allowance project.

Glen Duckett of the Eagle And Child was so pleased with Alexis's work that he ordered two glass awards, one to display on the wall and one for his fantastic chef Eve Townson
