Proud to call the county their home: Small firms celebrate at SME Bedfordshire Business Awards

THE COMPANIES making up the backbone of Bedfordshire celebrated in style last night (Thursday) at the 2023 SME Bedfordshire Business Awards.

The ceremony, held at The Auction House in Luton, shone a spotlight on the achievements of companies with up to 250 employees based in Bedfordshire.

The county’s cream of its SME crop gathered to celebrate their success and saw not-for-profit independent housing association IMPAKT Housing & Support take home the Overall Winner title.

“Thank you so much for this award! “We are so shocked to have received the Overall Winner title,” the organisation said. “Thank you so much.”

IMPAKT Housing & Support now goes forward to represent Bedfordshire at the SME National Business Awards in December at Wembley Stadium.

The awards judges, all senior business figures in Bedfordshire, were looking for organisations that showed outstanding initiative, boldness, and sustainability in the county, as well as sound management practices throughout their business.

SME Bedfordshire Awards director Damian Cummins pictured right said:  “We are all aware that SMEs are responsible for driving innovation and competition across the counties economic sectors.”

“The sheer number, breadth, and overall quality of the entries we have received is a testament of the strength of Bedfordshire’s growing SME market. This year’s entries demonstrate a commitment to impact and purpose-driven work that is here to stay.

“We should all be proud that such businesses choose to call Bedfordshire home.” 

IMPAKT Housing & Support, will be at Wembley Stadium by gold award winners in the majority of categories presented at last night’s ceremony.
