Put your business in the spotlight
We’ve gained national and international recognition from winning the award, including an article in the Flybe in-flight magazine and lots of other media coverage. I would definitely recommend other businesses enter as it gives your business so much credibility ... even if you don’t win it’s such a great networking opportunity.
Julianne Ponan, Creative Nature.
The press coverage from FSB’s promotion of the awards was incredible exposure for the business at such an early stage. I was even interviewed by Money Week.

Realise your dreams
“It goes to show that if you’re someone who has ever had the dream of running your own business - take the leap! There were so many amazing and inspirational people in that room today, all of them started somewhere."
James Calderbank, The Transform Hub
Building our business is such an exciting and rewarding journey, and we’re thrilled to win the UK final. We’ve taken risks, and had to deal with a lot of market uncertainty over the last 12 months. But those risks have paid off, and I hope other would-be young entrepreneurs are encouraged to make their dreams a reality.

Build your reputation
Winning the West Midlands FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards in 2018 in the Environmental Category gave us the impetus to put up for further awards. We went on to enter and win the FSB’s West Midlands Environmental Award in 2019 and 2020 and have also picked up their national Environmental Award for 2020. We have also won awards with the Chamber and Keele University and been awarded the Queens Award for Enterprise 2021: Sustainable Development. All of this has stemmed from entering that first FSB award!”

“It is a real honour to receive this high-profile national award from FSB, and I am very proud of the business I have built and the many people across the world who have been helped and supported. I am focussed on making hypnotherapy mainstream by equipping other practitioners globally with the skills to build their own practices, and look forward to developing my business further over the coming years.
