IAN Coley Sporting has won the title of Best UK Gun Shop for the second year running at the 2016 Shooting Industry Awards.
Based at Andoversford near Cheltenham, the business beat off tough competition from all around the UK.
The Best Gun Shop category was voted for by the general public, and the shortlisted businesses were then reviewed by a mystery shopper and panel of industry experts.
Coley said: “I was surprised to win the Best UK Gun Shop award for a second year, as I thought it wasn’t possible to win them for two years on the trot.
"It is something very special and reflects my personal investment and most of all the hard work and dedication from all of the staff.”
In the same week as this award, Coley's assistant gun room manager Matt Panter, became the British Open ABT (Automatic Ball Trap) champion, further reflecting the high standard of shooting knowledge that the staff at Ian Coley Sporting offer.
