Awards created by the ridleys FSB Harris Tweed Self Employed

We were absolutely thrilled to also be awarded Exporter of the Year for the North East Region. This was a very surprising win, expecially as we were up against some very stiff competition, who had offices all over the world.

Speechless!!!

Its not very often our founder, Tracy is lost for words, but the day the email landed into her inbox informing her that she was a Finalist in the Great British Entrepreneur Awards she was completely speechless.

She didn't win her category on the night, but that did nothing to dampen her spirit. Unfortunately the peace has been shattered and she is back to normal, singing away (out of tune) as she sews all her wonderful products

AND THE WINNER IS .............................. - Celebrating our achievement as an award winner at the Federation of Small Business Award for Self-employed / Sole Trader of the Year in the North East.
