We’re pleased to announce that AB Walker is a Platinum Sponsor of this year’s Pride of Bracknell Forest Awards, sponsoring the Special Recognition Award!

The Special Recognition Award is unique as people cannot be specifically nominated for it, rather the committee selects those most deserving of recognition out of all nomination categories.

AB Walker is an independent, family-run funeral director who has been helping families plan and arrange funerals for almost 200 years. Founded in 1826, they are one of the oldest family businesses in Berkshire and remain family-owned today. AB Walker is proud of its heritage and uses experience and knowledge to provide a caring, respectful, and personal service.

Their compassionate and professional team are here to help with all aspects related to a funeral. At their local branch in Bracknell, AB Walker aims to provide the best service possible to the Bracknell Forest community. From pre-planning and funeral plans to arranging the funeral itself, to bereavement aftercare and even monumental masonry and memorialisation; they offer choice and flexibility to deliver the right options for you.

AB Walker is also focused on delivering environmentally sustainable funeral services by measuring, reducing and offsetting carbon use and they have been carbon neutral for several years. They aim to be net zero by 2026, which is also their bicentenary.

The 2025 Pride of Bracknell Forest Awards are set to take place on the 25th of April 2025 at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
