The Brave & Bold Awards: The Winners!

I was delighted to be offered a golden ticket for last night's Brave & Bold Award ceremony.

And it was a real treat! 

OneMayfair is a fantastic venue for an awards ceremony, and last night it was full of glitz and glamour, as coaches and award nominees gathered to drink champagne, watch some fabulous acts, and most importantly, to find out from the stunning host Natasha Kaplinski who were the winners.

The judging panel had sifted through hundreds of entries looking for businesses that represented growth and success in eight key categories. In addition to recognising GrowthAccelerator businesses, the event was also a celebration of how the support of coaches have contributed to their success.
