In a celebration of Scotland's entrepreneurial spirit, I have been honoured with the Creative Hero award at the Small Business Heroes Awards, presented by Collabor8te in Glasgow. These awards are to shine a light on the hard work which goes into the small businesses across Scotland.
This recognition shines a spotlight on my commitment to delivering professional creative solutions through our unique VIP Day services to female-led business owners giving them affordable design solutions without lengthy projects or hefty price tags, ensuring every business we work with is confidence about their branding and truly reflects who you are and helping them stand out to grow.
Celebrating the Heart of UK Business
The Small Business Heroes Awards, by Glasgow's vibrant co-working hub Collabor8te, recognises an often-overlooked yet vital segment of the UK economy – businesses with fewer than 10 employees. (These micro-businesses make up an 96% of all UK businesses by the way...).
Why This Award Matters
What makes these awards special is their understanding of the hard work these business owners do. They celebrate business owners who seamlessly transition from high-profile client meetings to handling everyday challenges. It's about recognising those who wear multiple hats – from CEO to office manager, from creative director to maintenance supervisor – all in a day's work.
The Creative Hero Category
Being named the Creative Hero is particularly meaningful for me. The judges specifically highlighted our creative approach to creative services, particularly our VIP Days, which have helped us carve out a unique niche in the market. This service model allows us to deliver focused, high-impact creative solutions in a tight timeframe, proving that sometimes thinking differently about service delivery can lead to great results without a hefty price tag.
This award isn't just a trophy for my shelf – it's a validation of my belief that small businesses can deliver world-class creative solutions through unique approaches. My VIP Day model has allowed me to serve clients more effectively while maintaining a professional, personal touch that only a small business can provide.
Looking Forward
As I celebrate this recognition, I'm more motivated than ever to continue pushing boundaries and delivering exceptional creative solutions. This award from Collabor8te reminds us that size doesn't determine impact – it's passion, hard work, and dedication that truly matter.
We're grateful to Collabor8te for shining a light on Scotland's small business community and to our clients who have trusted us with their creative visions. Here's to all the small business heroes out there – may we continue to prove that great things often come in small packages!
