Two Doncaster businesses win prestigious business awards

Hosted by prime time television presenter Stephen Mulhern, the Business Excellence Awards - BizX 2021 took place last week (29 April 2021) and announced not only one but two winners from Doncaster.

Be More Social came away as winners of the Best Marketing Campaign award and The Shoe Room were crowned winners in the Best Customer Service category.

Richard Smith Director of The Shoe Room said: “this is the one that we really wanted. We are putting The Shoe Room and Doncaster on the global map. Recognition for what we do, and how we do it, is testament that we are indeed doing all the rights things.

The Shoe Room, through the most testing of times continues to flourish and we are proud of our achievements so far...we are born to serve!”

Rik Courtney CEO of the Be More Group said: “it is an honour to be recognised by the UK’s biggest business event and such a huge achievement to win this award. Credit to the whole team for all their hard work and dedication to Be More Social”.

Thank you to the entire team and our coach Jon Asquith for all the hard work over the last 12 months. It's an unbelievable achievement!”

Chris Dungworth, Head of Service Business Doncaster said: “This extraordinary year has presented unprecedented challenges for individuals and businesses...so for two Doncaster businesses to win international awards such as this for their outstanding service and work is just fantastic.

"Both The Shoe Room and Be More Social operate from premises in the town centre and have benefitted from a wide range of ongoing business support from Business Doncaster over a number of years.

"We are very proud of the work we do to support local businesses and to see businesses such as these grow and flourish is particularly rewarding. Providing targeted business support and signposting to other business opportunities has really helped their growth plans and we cannot wait to be see what is next.”
