SME Business of the Year, Sponsored by Esprit Group

 

 

" Esprit are proud to sponsor the GMCC Business Awards, in particular the award for SME Business of the Year. As a small business owner myself, who’s built the company from scratch and grown it over 24 years, I fully understand the challenges entrepreneurs face, from small daily decisions to massive life & game-changing decisions. So reading about & helping to recognise fellow successful entrepreneurs is a very rewarding process for me.

Being an active member of GMCC has introduced me to numerous avenues of support, including advice, information & contacts whilst attending events, through to insights into government policy which may affect my business decisions and also provides the ability to feedback information to government policy makers. Being one of the sponsors for these awards is a small opportunity to repay the benefits we reap from our membership and the members. " - Graham Dixon, Managing Director 



Medium of the Year, Sponsored by eStar

 

 

Commercial vehicles, while barely given a second thought by most people, keep the country moving – from food, to supply chains, to medical supplies, to energy infrastructure, to ambulances, vans and trucks touch the lives of literally everyone in the UK as 97% of the nations’ goods are delivered or collected by road.

 

Even fewer people think about the people behind this community; the people tasked with keeping these vehicles operating night and day, 365 days a year. The 340+ colleagues at eStar Truck & Van Ltd, working across Sales, Service and Maintenance, Parts, and Operations, are the ones behind this front line. eStar formed in September 2020, and is a commercial vehicle dealer that sells and maintains vans, trucks, busses, and coaches based in the North West and North Wales. We believe wholeheartedly that our purpose is to keep businesses moving; commercial vehicles keep the country moving 24/7, 365 days a year.

 Since our formation, we have been shortlisted, highly commended, or won more than 40 independent industry awards, reflecting our professionalism, expertise, and passion for the commercial vehicle community in which we operate.

 

We are passionate about keeping businesses moving, which is why we're delighted to sponsor the Medium Business of the Year Award. At eStar, championing the hard-working community, and supporting businesses in their growth journey drives us forward, so it's a privilege to celebrate with the finalists of this award.
