Created By The Ridleys Celebrates Winning FSB North East Self-Employed Award

Well, 2022 has certainly been an incredible year for us at Created By The Ridleys, join us on our award winner journey. We’re proud to share a milestone that means so much to our journey. We are delighted to announce that we were awarded Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) Self-Employed / Sole Trader of the Year for the North East, a prestigious recognition celebrating excellence among small businesses across the region.

Winning this FSB North East Award is a huge honour and a reflection of the hard work, creativity, and dedication that goes into everything we do. The Federation of Small Businesses is one of the UK’s most respected business organisations, and being recognised by them highlights our commitment to delivering high-quality services while building strong, trusted relationships with our clients.

As regional winners, we were thrilled to go on and represent the North East at the FSB National Finals in Glasgow. Standing alongside some of the UK’s most inspiring small business owners was an unforgettable experience and a reminder of how vibrant and innovative the self-employed community truly is. While we didn’t take home the national title, the experience itself was a huge achievement—and it certainly didn’t dull our sparkle.

This award marks an exciting chapter for Created By The Ridleys, reinforcing our position as a passionate, forward-thinking business rooted in the North East. It motivates us to continue growing, evolving, and pushing creative boundaries for the clients and communities we serve.

So, what’s next for us? Honestly—who knows? With momentum building and exciting opportunities on the horizon, this is only the beginning. A trip to America may be on the cards, as we look to decorate our American friends in British Tweeds. Watch this space as Created By The Ridleys continues its award-winning journey.
