A Barking Mad Award For Kerry

The Evening Telegraph:

A SPALDING woman who organises holidays for dogs has won an award.
Kerry Wells runs the South Lincolnshire, Peterborough, Stamford and Rutland Branch of Barking Mad, and has been named the company’s Brand Builder of the Year Award 2008.

Barking Mad is a franchise, and franchisees like Kerry arrange places in people’s homes for dogs to stay in when their owners go on holiday, so that beloved pets don’t have to go into kennels.

Dogs usually stay with retired people who are willing to take in a dog for a week or two and give them lots of love and as much exercise as they need.

Kerry has been a franchisee for just 19 months, and was shocked to win her accolade.

She said: “I would have expected to get the Newcomer of the Year Award, if anything, but not this.”
