The first ever UK-wide search for the small business with the biggest heart has concluded and the winner of the BusinessesForSale.com Small Business Big Heart Award is Chevening Financial from Kent.
Chevening Financial was one of nine regional finalists and has been selected for its long-term and on-going support for the people in its immediate community. Its prize is £1,000 for a charitable cause of its choice.
The award was so hotly contested that the judges have also announced four additional awards as follows…
Highly Commended Business Hearts
• Motiv8 Sports, North West England
• Trilby A Hair Academy, Hampshire and Dorset Region
Local Community Business Hearts
• Village Stores Mickleton, West Country Region
• Phil Anderson Financial, Scotland Region
Chevening Financial was selected as the overall winner for its eight-year long programme of community support taking housebound pensioners out for shopping and socialising, which has now become the highlight of many of the beneficiaries’ weeks.
To date Chevening Financial’s MD David Hawes-Gatt has clocked up 4,000 miles taking care of his group of lovely, lively ladies and gone on to also arrange additional outings like Christmas lunches, cream teas and trips to the seaside.
