Warwickshire winners at FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards

Two Warwickshire businesses were among the regional winners of the FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards.

The ceremony at RAF Cosford saw awards handed out in 12 categories and there was success for Nuneaton-based Nomad HR and Recruitment and Stratford-on-Avon-based Hoorays Gelato Kitchen.

Nomad HR and Recruitment were named West Midlands Community Business of the Year for the work they do in investing in the community through donations and pro bono work. This includes hundreds of hours of free mentoring to a youth homeless charity and helping to create opportunities for young people in the areas of employment, training, and homelessness across Warwickshire.

Hoorays Gelato Kitchen won the Family Business of the Year. The growth of Hoorays was assisted in early 2021 by a Warwickshire County Council Retail & Hospitality grant which was used to develop an outside seating area for customers,

WCC's Retail & Hospitality grant scheme, now closed, was created to help small businesses in that sector consolidate and grow again after Covid and awarded £215,000 in grants to 40 businesses.
