Quite amazing - and a great example of turning a hobby into not just a business, but a global enterprise.”

Director of Marketing, Solihull College
Winning a Best Business Award has provided us with a platform to raise our profile via the media. Since winning we have secured press coverage in key national and regional publications regarding the great work we are doing and we have attracted students to the college that may not have otherwise heard about us.
I would recommend the Best Business Awards to any dynamic organisation that wants to prove to stakeholders that it is delivering.

If you are a young business without much marketing spend, then entering awards can be a cost-effective way of generating positive marketing and PR, because you are thrown into the spotlight. It also offers a seal of approval.
Potential customers can look at that and think “I’m happy to do business with this company”, because they have that recognition.

Michelle has turned her idea into a fast growing business with 10 regional events being held this year and 20 next year. Congratulations to Jay for spotting an opportunity and turning it into a sustainable business.”

“Congratulations to David Garc??a-Gonz??lez for taking on the giants in the localisation sector with GoLocalise - his one-stop shop boutique concept. After working as a translator for more than 15 years, David decided to go it alone and start his own business. With a considerable investment in his own recording studios, it was a risky move. But with translation, voice over and subtitling services under one roof, he has streamlined the audiovisual translation service, introduced new efficiencies for clients and given the larger players a few sharp shocks.”
