Zoe Wadsworth established The Ask Zoe Small Business Awards, sponsored by Purple Pebble People, to celebrate the fantastic work being done by businesses and individuals within Yorkshire, and the small business community. These inaugural awards are open to all organisations in Yorkshire regardless of size or maturity.

The Ask Zoe team and judging panel independently judged over 75 entries and shortlisted the finalists, and our expert judges selected the winners for each award.

Winners were announced at the awards ceremony on Friday 13^th of December, at The BHF Priory Centre, Barnsley.

Founder, Zoe Wadsworth said:

“One of our key values at Ask Zoe is to give back every year to the small business community who work so hard to service their customers and grow their business year after year. One of Oliver’s greatest achievements was his fundraising too, so it felt fitting to offer a platform to celebrate the small business community but also to continue Oliver’s legacy on the day, by raising awareness and funds for The Children’s Hospital at the amount of £888.00.”

Providing a local event to celebrate local business in memory of a local hero, who’s legacy will continue to help more children through The Children’s Hospital Charity.
