Stort Valley Gifting’s awards
Small Business Saturday - SmallBiz100
Supported by American Express, Small Business Saturday UK is a non-commercial, grassroots campaign that highlights small business success and champions shopping small. Originally launched in the US, the campaign came to the UK in 2012—and we were delighted to be recognised during its 10th anniversary year.
Held annually on the first Saturday of December, the campaign shines a torch on the vital role small businesses play across the UK.
F:Entrepreneur - #Ialso100
Our founder, Emma Robson, featured on the F:Entrepreneur #Ialso 100 list for 2023. The list, made up of 100 UK female founders, champions an annual line-up for 100 phenomenal entrepreneurs making a significant impact to society, economy and communities.
