We’re diving into the heart of the Spelthorne Business Awards this time around. This year marks the eighth and final round of these awards, and they’re all about celebrating our local business heroes – especially the micro businesses that really pack a punch! Julia Owen, our guest and Senior Economic Development Officer at Spelthorne Borough Council, spills the beans on how these awards spotlight the incredible stories behind local businesses and why they matter. We chat about the importance of recognition, the diverse categories you can enter (seriously, there’s a Rising Star award, how cool is that?), and why even if you don’t win, the whole application process can be a game changer for your business. So, if you’re a local business owner, or just curious about what makes the Spelthorne community tick, stick around, because this episode is packed with insights.
Takeaways:
- Micro businesses are often the stars of the show, proving that size doesn’t always matter in business success.
- The Spelthorne Business Awards are not just about winning; they offer invaluable networking opportunities for local businesses.
- This year marks the final Spelthorne Business Awards under its current format, making it extra special for the community.
- Categories like Rising Star and Breaking Down Barriers highlight the diversity and inclusivity of the local business scene.
- The awards process encourages reflection and growth, making it a beneficial exercise even for non-finalists.
- The gala night is all about celebrating achievements with good vibes, great food, and local entertainment, so dress to impress!
