Three companies from Lincolnshire have been named amongst the nation’s 100 most impressive small firms by the Small Business Saturday UK campaign, kicking off a wider call to encourage public support for small businesses.
They are Business Bollox, Reuseabox, and Stewton Stars Hideaway. Business Bollox is a specialist marketing strategy consultancy for B2B SMEs, founded by Emma Easton in 2020 after Covid redundancy. It helps small business create solid strategic foundations, while also mentoring for early career marketers, lecturing and keynote presentations.
Reuseabox is a B Corp certified circular economy packaging company that encourages businesses to reuse cardboard boxes because it is better for the planet and your bottom line. The company was founded by Jack Good in 2015 shortly after he left school and in just 9 years with key investment in local people and becoming customer-centric in its approach, the company has rapidly grown into a multi-million-pound company.
Stewton Stars Hideaway is a dream turned reality for female owner and founder – Jessica Ramshaw. Located in the pretty green hills of the Lincolnshire Wolds, Stewton Stars Hideaway offers a tranquil countryside retreat for couples and families who want to get away from it all and recharge amidst natures beauty.
Following a nationwide search, all three firms have been selected as part of this year’s SmallBiz100 line-up, which showcases 100 of the most impressive independent businesses from across the nation as part of the count-down to Small Business Saturday on 7th December.
Running in the UK for over a decade, Small Business Saturday is the UK’s most successful small business campaign, which takes place each year on the first weekend in December, celebrating small businesses and encouraging consumers to ‘shop local’ and to support businesses in their communities.
