Burns Pet Nutrition founder John Burns has been awarded an MBE for services to business and the community in West Wales. Burns Pet Nutrition is a family run business based in Kidwelly, South Wales.
John said “I’m delighted to have received this honour from King Charles. It recognises the hard work in building a successful pet food brand, farm shop and charitable foundation, all of which have the community at their heart. What’s especially pleasing is that other people do the hard work and I get the credit.”
Burns continues to support over 30 charities long term and contributes multiple donations throughout the year. The in-house charity, The John Burns Foundation, runs multiple community initiatives, such as Burns by Your Side, a scheme that helps school children improve their literacy and communication skills with the aid of trained volunteers and reading dogs.
