AN Uxbridge businessman has won the Nursery Supplier/Innovator category in the annual NMT Nursery Awards.

Colin Johnson, a director of Kickfinish and a father of two, developed Medilert from his own experiences of medicine management when his children were in a local nursery.

He said: “Both my children suffer with an egg allergy and when I was asked to renew one of their allergy-relief medicines it was already six months out of date.”

Winners were presented with their trophies by children comic double act Dick and Dom.
