I am SUPER thrilled to announce that I have won my first EVER award this month winning the Best Vegan Accessory Brand 2023 - North-West England Award from the SME News UK Team which came as a lovely surprise!
SME News Awards are now in their seventh year and their awards are given solely on merit and are awarded to commend those most deserving for their ingenuity and hard work. Click here to read the official press release.
It means so much to me to be recognised for this as it really is something I love doing and I've not been doing it for very long, just over a year now actually, so this really gives me the strength to carry on with my small business. I can't thank the SME News Nominations Team enough. View winner page here.
I first found out that I had been selected for the award back in February and was excited to see my nomination advance through the stages to the final evaluation and eventually to hearing I had won the award!
It is such a huge moment in my career as a fashion designer and brand owner to be recognised for creating a vegan brand, and having been born and bred in Greater Manchester, I am touched to be recognised for this within my local area as well.
I can't thank you all enough for your support over this past year and here's to another wonderful year for Amy York *Clinks glasses*.
