Faum Architecture’s Post

✨Growing up in #Bradford, I have been immensely proud to see #local businesses who started from very humble beginnings, become huge #success stories for the Bradford #business community and beyond. 🏆 So when I was invited by the West & North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce to attend the Bradford Means Business Awards (#BMBA), I was delighted to reserve my spot on the table to #celebrate Bradford’s best in the business. The event was certainly a night of glitz, glamour but also a chance to hear some very heartwarming success stories from businesses in Bradford. The #food industry has always played a pivotal role in my life. With my late #father setting up his own well known restaurant in the 80s on Leeds Road, it was fantastic to hear that Bradford brands such as Regal Food, Adams Food and Seabrook Crisps all took home an award! Congratulations to them and all the other amazing award winners! Hearing some of the key driving forces to their achievements and the impact they have had on the local community was truly #inspiring. As well as the awards, it was great to catch up with some familiar faces such as Liz Wood, Rebecca Fitzgerald, Kersten England CBE, ASMA B., Jagjeet Jandu, Lucy Taylor and many more. It wonderful to meet some new faces, such as Olivia Fitzgerald who kept me company at dinner as she discussed her plans for her new business venture. As well as the Youth development team from Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture. Some key #takeaways from the event… 💡 Success isn’t always about what shows on the balance sheet, it is the #positive #impact you have on the local community and infrastructure that is a key driver for future success. 👏🏼 Be proud of your achievements but also remain #humble to your #roots (I will always be a proud Bradfordian!) ✨ Always carry a #selfie #light in your handbag to capture the best pictures from the night! (Thanks for the tip Olivia!) What do you think is the key driver to success in a business?
