We got dressed up last week, and headed to Uttoxeter Racecourse to celebrate all the finalists of this year's Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce Business Awards – hoping for Alexandra to be crowned Staffordshire's Entrepreneur of the Year!
What an incredible evening at the Staffordshire Chambers of Commerce Business Awards last Friday night!
The ceremony took place at the beautiful Uttoxeter Racecourse on a perfect summer evening, bringing together the very best of our local business community.
While Alexandra didn't take home the Entrepreneur of the Year award (congratulations to the very deserving winners Dr. Amit Jilka and Dr. Mumta Jilka! of Abbey House Dental), being shortlisted was fantastic recognition for our growing business and the hard work of our entire team.
Celebrating Staffordshire Businesses
The evening was a wonderful showcase of the incredible variety and quality of businesses thriving across our county. From innovative start-ups to established family enterprises, the finalist lineup demonstrated just how great our local business ecosystem really is.
The networking opportunities were exceptional - it was brilliant to catch up with familiar faces and make new connections across different industries.
Recognition That Matters
Even without taking home the trophy, we think the recognition itself has been incredibly valuable for Powell Design & Construction and women like Alexadnra. Being shortlisted alongside such inspiring entrepreneurs validates our approach and the impact we're making in our community.
The nomination has sparked conversations with potential clients, strengthened relationships with existing partners, and boosted team morale. Sometimes the journey and recognition are just as valuable as the destination!
Looking Forward
Events like these energise us for the challenges and opportunities ahead. They remind us of the incredible businesses we're surrounded by and inspire us to continue growing and contributing to our local community.
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists, what an inspiring group of businesses to be associated with!
The Staffordshire Chambers Business Awards take place annually, celebrating excellence across multiple categories including Innovation, Growth, Customer Service, and Business of the Year.
