A FAMILY business has received national recognition for its staff training and development.

Tanning business TC Tanning, of Harrogate, North Yorkshire, received the Government-backed Investors in People accreditation from the town's MP, Phil Willis.

The company was set up two years ago by father and daughter Howard and Tanya Crawshaw. It employs 14 staff at two centres in Harrogate.

Mr Crawshaw said: "We are delighted to have achieved the Investors in People quality standard, which is a rarity in the industry."
