We won an award!!!
…And we can’t stop staring at it!
Earlier this month, we had the honour of attending the annual Skipton Business Awards, as created by Skipton BID to showcase all of the fantastic local businesses we have in our beautiful little town. We donned the dresses and tuxedo’s, left the leggings and dungarees at home, and tottered out into the night to join a whole host of fabulous other business owners at our local Town Hall.
It was a brilliant night, full of glitz and glammer, and for a yoga teacher and a Pilates teacher, an opportunity to get dressed up and go out on the town!
We had been shortlisted for two awards: Best New Business and Best Health & Wellbeing 2024, by our local community, and were made up enough from that - especially given we were up against some truly incredible businesses. We hoped, but didn’t expect, to win anything in particular, given that we are still fairly ‘new kids on the block’!
So you can only imagine our joint shock and overwhelm when it was announced that we were the winners of the Best Health & Wellbeing Award 2024!!! We were over the moon and cried - pretty much all night!
Although nobody should need external validation, we all know that a little bit of recognition goes a very long way in boosting the ol’ self esteem and giving yourself a rocket up the backside to continue on, especially in tough economic climates. To be nominated and awarded this by our local community and clients themselves made it feel even more special.
Thank you to everybody who voted and a massive congratulations to all nominees and winners - it ain’t always easy being a small businesses but guys… we’re all smashing it!
All our love,
