About The Irish micro business awards 2021
The Irish Micro Business Awards are now in their sixth year. It is the leading celebration of Ireland’s small businesses.
The Irish Micro Business Awards were held virtually on October 9th 2021. Saraden Designs was a finalist in 2 categories, Event Expert and Reinvention with Attitude.
The award process itself involved sending in an application about your business and then I was shocked to find out the judges had selected me as a finalist in 2 categories. The next step was pitching my company to the judges. There were a number of ways you could do this and I chose the video method.
I made a 5 minute video of my business explaining everything from the concept to Covid to where I am now. 5 minutes sounds easy enough but it was hard to get all the vital information in there but still make it interesting and I managed to do it after much editing.
The Awards finals were held virtually on Saturday October 9th 2021. I am thrilled to announce that I was the winner of the Event Expert Category for 2021.
As I am a winner I now go forward to the UK & Ireland Finals in Scarborough in the UK on March 24th & 25th 2022, which in itself is a huge achievement and something to look forward to next year.
This process was long and really made me think hard about my business and where I wanted it to go but the hard work paid off and I am over the moon with the win!
