The British Business Awards, presented by SmallBusiness.co.uk

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the British Business Awards, where I was honoured to be shortlisted for an award. While I didn’t win, the recognition went to Carlo Weaver, CEO of Apprentago. An incredible company doing life-changing work - helping rough sleepers transition into apprenticeships. Truly inspiring and so much more deserving! It was a fantastic event celebrating so many worthy winners and brilliant entrepreneurs. It was a great reminder of the power of small businesses to create meaningful change. #BritishBusinessAwards #SMEs #Entrepreneurship

An update on last night's British Business Awards! Although we didn't win either of our categories last night, coming runner-up in both categories is a tremendous achievement, and the team should be incredibly proud. We were up against some truly worthy winners who deserved to win. The event was a bit different from what we're used to—the cinema theatre at Picturehouse Piccadilly made for an interesting venue. Bring on the National Drainage Awards on the 27th! 🏆 #TrentsDrains #BritishBusinessAwards #ProudMoments #TeamAchievement #NationalDrainageAwards #bba2024 The British Business Awards, presented by SmallBusiness.co.uk

LoveReading was shortlisted at another award ceremony last night. For two awards no less. Retail Business of the Year and Sustainable Business of the Year at the British Business Awards! I know, right. When you don’t win, it’s disappointing and so easy to forget how much hard work occurred to get the business to the shortlist stage. How much energy. How much love. How much commitment. I couldn’t do any of this without the incredible team. I’m quite often the face of LoveReading but WE together are the beating heart. Thank you all. For everything. Award win or not, you rock.

Last night found me at the British Business Awards —this time, as a judge. When you get the chance to stand on the other side of something you’d normally strive for, take it. It offers perspective and lessons. As I judged and selected businesses, I had to adopt a resolute mindset. The temptation to shortlist everyone was overwhelming; because I know what it takes to build a business. The internal battles you fight, the changes in personality (true), the external forces you push against, and the opinions you must learn to ignore. To those running a business, those who’ve been nominated but not shortlisted, or those shortlisted but who didn’t win, please hear this: ‘𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒂.’ A powerful reminder from Theodore Roosevelt. To everyone in the arena- those whose faces are marred by dust, sweat, and blood, those who strive valiantly- I salute you. Keep running, keep rising. I left feeling incredibly inspired - a room charged with entrepreneurial energy will do that to you😁 Congratulations to all who got to take home an award last night🎉 Stubben Edge smallbusiness.co.uk HSBC #businessjourney #britishbusinessawards #entrepreneurlife #BBA2024
