What an extraordinary day of firsts it turned out to be. I’m immensely proud to have continued the judging process for the new Trailblazer Award today, alongside my fellow judges Hollie Whittles from Purple Frog Systems Ltd and Michael Wright from Aico, for the upcoming #SBAwards, put on by Shropshire Chamber of Commerce. We encountered four remarkable businesses, each surpassing expectations and embodying the essence of the award. Their distinctive attributes truly set them apart. It was great to discover that three out of the four finalists were situated within 2 miles of each other, with some even collaborating. Among the highlights of the day were, throwback to some vintage tech from Preloved Tech Ltd and their links to Icehocky, exploring exiting new premises at Exascale and moving a cherry picker for a picture, to testing equipment and implementing barcoding for product traceability at CEL Group and finally, experiencing a live demonstration of stud seaman harvesting at Stallion AI Services……Yes, you read that correctly – it certainly made for an eventful day! A common thread among all four finalists was their passion. This contributed to the diligent deliberation and number-crunching that followed. Each participant has already become a winner by making it this far. My key takeaway? Let’s take pride in being part of Shropshire and cherish the incredible businesses that call it home. #business #businessawards #trailblazer #innovation #shropshire #awards #wealthmanagement #judges #internationaltrade #collaberation
