Celebrating Small Business at the East Midlands Small Business Awards 2024

Last week, Emily and Matt had the pleasure of representing Accelerate at the East Midlands Small Business Awards 2024, held at the fantastic Village Hotel in Nottingham.

We were thrilled to be shortlisted as finalists after submitting our entry and ‘homemade’ video earlier in the year, and it was an honour to be recognised among so many inspiring businesses from across the region.

An Evening of Inspiration:

The experience was nothing short of amazing. The evening brought together a vibrant community of entrepreneurs and small business champions—each with their own amazing story of determination and innovation.

Meeting so many like-minded individuals who have either started their own businesses or work within one was truly motivating. The energy in the room was electric; it’s clear that small business owners are some of the most passionate, creative, and hard-working people around.

The Vital Role of Small Businesses:

Events like this remind us how crucial small businesses are—they bring diversity, innovation, and opportunity, often punching well above their weight in terms of impact.

We’re incredibly proud to be part of that community and to contribute in our own way through the services we offer to Advisers across the country.
