Blow By Blow’s long-time associates Fern Creative won the prestigious Performance Through Partnership trophy at the December 2006 Doncaster Business Awards at the third attempt! (Pictured right - Howard Johnson and Andrew Blow with the Award)

Runners-up in 2004 and 2005, the Fern team convinced the judges of their genuine partnership ethos by delving back into the business records and finding evidence of working in partnerships as far back as the 1980s. One of the partnerships cited was the long relationship with Blow By Blow.

As a result, Fern MD Howard Johnson was called to the stage in front of 700 Doncaster business men and women to receive the trophy — before Fern’s own cameras which were filming the event live on to big screens.

The award capped a fine quarter for Fern who also won the Yorkshire Region Arts in Business Award in October 2006

Not to be outdone, Andrew Blow won a Business Development Award — against competition — from the Lincolnshire Creative Solutions Initiative in the same quarter.
