Award-winning Warrington PR and communications agency No Brainer is celebrating after being shortlisted for ‘Micro Business of the Year’ at the British Small Business Awards.
The Victoria Park-based PR, social media and content marketing firm will compete against nine other companies from across the country for the prestigious title – with the winner announced at a glitzy ceremony in London’s Grand Connaught Rooms on 20th October.
“We’re very proud to be representing Warrington and the creative industry in this prestigious award ceremony,” said No Brainer director and co-founder Lee Cullen.
“To be in the running for a British Small Business award really puts No Brainer on the national stage, so we’re absolutely delighted to have made the shortlist.”
This latest recognition comes following a highly successful 18 months for No Brainer.
Founded by Cullen and Gary Jenkins in 2015, the agency has gone on to pick up a number of high-profile client wins and was recently crowned ‘New Business of the Year’ at the Warrington Business Awards.
The firm has also made the shortlist for the Outstanding Small Public Relations Consultancy award at November’s Chartered Institute of Public Relations North West Pride Awards and in August, former BBC producer Steve Bland joined the team as News and Content Manager.
“To be included on a shortlist like this is a reward for the hard work we’ve put in over the past 18 months,” added Jenkins.
“Many of the other companies on the shortlist are really well established so to be included shows how much we’ve grown in such a short space of time.
“In the last few months we’ve welcomed our first members of staff, moved into brand new offices in Warrington and celebrated some significant client wins, so we’re really excited about the future for No Brainer.”
The British Small Business Awards is the leading celebration of the UK’s small business sector, recognising the nation’s best sole traders, micro businesses and small companies – as well as the services providers and advisers that support them.
The ‘Micro Business of the Year’ category is open to any company with between two and nine employees. Ben Lobel, the editor of SmallBusiness.co.uk which runs the awards, said it’s a significant group.
“This is a critically important category representing, in terms of business size, the bulk of our readership at SmallBusiness.co.uk,” said Lobel.
“The companies shortlisted have all demonstrated impressive revenues and an approach to their sector that sets them apart from their peers.”
