WORTHING BUSINESS AWARDS 2009

PLEASE NOMINATE US IN THE WORTHING BUSINESS AWARDS 2009 TODAY BY CLICKING HERE

Thank you to everyone who nominated us during the 2008 Worthing Business Awards. Last year we were shortlisted for:

• Best Website • Best Microbiz • Best Marketing

We were proud to walk away with Best Microbiz 2008.

In between last year and this year, you may have noticed that has been a recession 🙁 This has not stopped us! We restructured The Brand Surgery in good time to make our future rosy (pink of course), and in May, we took on a graduate graphic designer from Northbrook College, called Jody, and a web developer called Dean. Business is booming!

Since 2008, the boss Vicky has been extremely busy setting up Let’s Rebrand Britain, which is a website to promote kids activities. Vicky is aiming to make the streets a safer place by collaborating with charities such as Sussex Community Foundation. The whole idea is to help kids of today explore their talents by taking part in the many organised activities which are not properly promoted. Vicky is doing this at her own personal cost, on her days off from promoting The Brand Surgery.

We realise your time is precious, and we truly appreciate your nominations for the following categories (one, two or all!):

• MicroBusiness of the Year Award 2009 (1 to 5 employees) Need we say more!?

Award description from the organisers: Whether home, office or workshop based, this is a showcase for those businesses with 1-5 employees.
