Award won: Best Creative and Cultural Business, North East Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards
Year of winning: 2008
“The immediate result of winning the award was a wonderful surge of friendly and honest congratulations – the impact that had on myself and the business was that everyone who had helped to develop Act Positive felt great. Fairly rapidly current and potential clients contacted us with enquiries about work and then actively promoted the work they were doing with Act Positive – now an award winning business.
Membership companies based in the UK and the US suddenly wanted the business to be registered in various award winner directories and the newspapers were interested in running editorials – the opportunities to advertise far and wide seemed to land on the doorstep. In the longer term the winning of an award feels like an unusual stepping stone with a spring inside; it has the ability to make us bounce with joy and enthusiasm for what we do and act as a significant springboard to success as a business.”
