Sustainability Award – Surrey SME Business Awards 2024
William Wilsnagh, one of our expert business growth advisors, announced the winner of the sustainability award to Pinksheep. The company is a pioneer in sustainable merchandise.
Every product is graded on its sustainability credentials – meaning customers can make informed buying decisions.
Every pound spent with Pinksheep goes towards environmental initiatives. To date it has planted 91,039 trees, offset 5,686 tonnes of CO2, and recovered 2,317,463 plastic bottles.
Pinksheep has also developed Ora, a groundbreaking platform designed to help brands make eco-friendly choices.
Best New Business – Surrey SME Business Awards 2024
The winner of the Best New Business awards was EARLEY+DAUGHTERS.
This one woman candle making operation based in Haslemere started trading in March 2020 as the UK went into lockdown. It officially launched two years later.
As founder Katy writes on her website: “All EARLEY+DAUGHTERS candles are made by me, by hand, from start to finish. They are poured in incredibly small batches ensuring the quality is second to none – and also that there is no waste. Every minute spent blending, pouring, labelling and packaging each one is an absolute joy.”
Everyone at Business Surrey wants to say a big well done to all the winners and shortlisted businesses.
