Well, this is an exciting, one, isn’t it?!
I’ve been named as one of Britain’s Top 50 Business Advisers!
Just a few short weeks ago, I was named as one of Britain’s Top 50 Business Advisers. I was picked from hundreds of advisers from around the UK for my work.
Having spent many years working in and with small businesses (over ten years as a PR and social media consultant!), over the last five years, I have moved into a coaching and mentoring role, helping small businesses to grow and develop further. In addition, I guest lecture at three universities, am Facebook Blueprint Certified, and I’m also a #shemeansbusiness accredited trainer, which is a nationwide programme empowering women to improve their digital skills and embrace social media.
I will now go through to the public vote to find the UK’s Top Ten Advisers.
The Top 50 Adviser Awards are run by small business network Enterprise Nation, the UK’s leading support network for small businesses – in association with Xero, Dell Technologies and Neat. The list was compiled after the awards reached out to fledgling businesses to nominate an adviser that had helped them to build and grow a sustainable business.
The awards, which set out to highlight the work done behind the scenes by experts helping Britain’s army of small businesses to build and grow, revealed a rich vein of dedicated supporters for the UK’s expanding entrepreneurial culture, even during the pandemic.
Emma Jones, founder of Enterprise Nation said: “Business advisers are the unsung heroes behind Britain’s booming small business culture and their insight and experience are needed now more than ever.
“The awards have uncovered some incredible work that has helped firms take steps towards sustainability and growth or managing the current situation by pivoting and by taking a strategic look at their business.
“Research shows that those firms that take advice do better than those that don’t – and it stands to reason that good advice can help avoid some of the damaging, early mistakes entrepreneurs can make that can often force them to give up.
“The awards were designed to show how important this work is in action, in order to help more start-ups and small firms find out about the benefits of taking advice.”
The 50 advisers were chosen from hundreds of entries from around the UK, with ten outstanding experts picked out as the top ten.
It’s such a huge honour to have made it into the Top 50 across the UK. For someone who works in such a niche industry, it feels particularly special.
