Small Business Saturday UK 2020: A trip down memory lane

We're thrilled to be recognised in this year’s Small Business Saturday UK's #smallbiz100!

We feel privileged to be included as one of the 100 businesses but we wouldn’t be where we are now without all of the friends and partners supporting us along the way.

To celebrate we’re taking a little trip down our memory lane highlighting a few of the amazing people and businesses who made the journey that little bit better.

And of course, we can’t avoid mentioning COVID-19. The silver-lining to the pandemic is the incredible way it has brought smaller businesses closer together. We were blown away by all of our member’s PR wins and the amount of support we saw from the press.
