Shortlists and Finalists
In addition to winning two awards, Scott Bailey was also shortlisted for The Fordingbridge Print Award for Business Growth, and our very own Emily Drew was a finalist for The Southampton Business School Young Person in Business Award. The Business Growth Award recognises businesses that can demonstrate a clear growth strategy that has taken their business to the next level. Emily’s nomination recognises the positive contribution she has made to Scott Bailey, as well as our commitment to training and development. Working closely with our Training principal, Sarah Unsworth, Emily has been completing a two-year training contract, providing her with the opportunity to gain experience working within various teams and roles.
We would like to say a huge congratulations to everyone who played a part in the awards – from the organisers to the other winners, as well as Brockenhurst College for hosting the ceremony splendidly and to Careys Manor Hotel & Senspa for the fabulous after-party. It was wonderful to see so many clients and friends there, celebrating business excellence. With 9,000 businesses being eligible to enter the awards and 51 finalists being shortlisted, we are extremely proud to have come away with not one but two awards, including New Forest Business of the Year. We look forward to continuing to build on this success in 2024.
