We are Britain’s Best Small Business Award Finalist!
SOUTHAMPTON’S SENSATIONAL CAKES AND DESSERTS: FINALIST FOR SMALL BUSINESS AWARD
Now in its eighth year, The Small Awards is a nationwide search for the smallest and greatest firms in the UK, across all sectors. It is organised annually by Small Business Britain, which champions, inspires and accelerates the nation’s 5.5 million small firms. Sensational Cakes and Desserts has been selected as one of just ten finalists for the Sole to Sole Category for best self-employed small business owner that recognises sole traders and celebrates the tenacity and drive it takes to go at it alone.
With eleven different categories, the Small Awards celebrate the dynamism and resilience exhibited in the UK’s small business sector, across everything from sustainability heroes to digital stars, to long-standing family businesses.
“The Small Awards is all about celebrating the inspiring small business owners who are at the heart of the economy and their communities,” said Michelle Ovens CBE, Founder of Small Business Britain. “They are an opportunity to recognise and applaud the passion and resilience of the nation’s small firms, particularly amidst such turbulent times. Sensational Cakes and Desserts is extremely deserving of being shortlisted for this award and we can’t wait to celebrate with them in May.”
Reacting to the nomination, Sope (Owner & Creative Director, Sensational Cakes and Desserts) said “being short-listed for the Small Business Award in the Best Self-Employed Small Business Owner of the Year category is an absolute dream come true! I am beyond grateful for this recognition and the chance to stand alongside other remarkable small business owners. When I started Sensational Cakes and Desserts from my mum’s kitchen in 2016, I could not have imaged how far the Business will go.
Being self-employed has its challenges, but moments like this make every late night and every leap of faith worthwhile. Thanks to the Small Awards for creating a platform that celebrates innovation, resilience, and hard work. And a heartfelt shoutout to my fellow bakers—you inspire me daily! To all the entrepreneurs out there: Keep chasing your dreams, believing in your vision, and delivering excellence. Let’s continue to make waves and show the world what self-employed individuals are capable of!”
Judged by a panel of industry experts, the winners of all categories, including the overall winner of the Small Business of the Year award, will be announced at a splendid awards ceremony in London on 16th May 2024.
The ceremony will this year be held at St Mary’s church in London, with plans underway for a night of entertainment, inspiration, and celebration for UK’s greatest small businesses.
