The Good Small Business Awards is the UK’s first national business sustainability award exclusively for small businesses. Like us, The Good Small Business Awards celebrate the work of small and micro businesses doing the right things for people and the planet. Small businesses often make more of a positive impact than bigger counterparts. Our CEO Jill Poet was judge at the 2023 ceremony and will judge again in 2024. Our partnership encourages existing good small businesses to continue to strive and will open up the playing field for other small businesses to follow suit. Our existing members and their nominees will continue to discover our respective organisations and further the championing of small businesses and MICRO BUSINESSES, including sole proprietors, with embedded values.
