Are You Ready to Stop Playing Small? Enter the Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards Let’s cut the fluff: If you’re not putting your business out there, you’re missing a massive opportunity. The Wellingborough & East Northants Chamber of Commerce Awards are more than just a chance to pick up a shiny trophy—they’re your chance to step up, prove your worth, and get some serious recognition for the work you’ve been putting in. I hear too many business owners moan about “not getting the attention they deserve.” Well, here’s your wake-up call—this is how you get it. By entering. By showing up. By competing. It’s not just about winning (though that doesn’t hurt, does it?); it’s about demonstrating to your customers, competitors, and even your team that you’re not content with staying in the shadows. Think about what it says when you put your business forward: 🏆 Visibility: You get eyes on your business that you’ve never had before. 🏆 Credibility: Just being a finalist can be a game-changer for how people perceive your brand. 🏆 Momentum: Win or lose, the PR, the buzz, the networking—it all counts towards growth. So, are you going to take action and showcase the real impact your business is making? Or are you going to sit on the sidelines while others claim the spotlight? And listen—if you’re thinking of not entering because “it’s just not your thing,” that’s your ego talking. Leave that nonsense behind. This is the perfect chance to push your business to the next level. You’ve got nothing to lose—just credibility, connections, and potential clients to gain. The deadline’s looming. Get your entry in and stop playing small. #WellingboroughChamberAwards #BusinessGrowth #Recognition #NoExcuses

Are you an entrepreneur or SME owner too busy growing your business to consider entering for awards? Let me share with you four reasons why you should consider entering for awards as part of your business growth strategies: 1. Amplified brand visibility and recognition, opening doors to new opportunities 2. Enhanced credibility and trustworthiness, acting as a third-party endorsement that sets you apart from competitors 3. The attraction of investments and top talent to fuel your growth and take your business to new heights 4. The chance to review, measure, and promote your business processes and achievements, improving service delivery. If this is your first time entering for an award, you can consider local awards such as the Newham Chamber Of Commerce. As you build your experience and portfolio, you can move on to regional, national, and international awards. Don't wait, visit the Newham Chamber website for more information. #businessawards #startupgrowth #entrepreneurship

.....Oh The Irony... I have just been awarded this Prestigious award, but, as I'm no longer in business due to No Work Vehicle and No Customers, this has come through a bit late 😕 Mind you, as my other business hasn't been fully set up, I guess SGH Commercial is still viable, on an, Only Just situation And this is coming from someone that normally disregards these types of Awards? .................................................................................... #sghcommercial #severngorgearboricultureltd #woodlandmanagement #woodlandcreation #woodlandsurveys #severngorgecountrysidetrust #statelyhomes #forestindustrysafetyaccord #treecareprofessionals #treeworking #treesurgeonsuk #treesurgeonsofinstagram #smasworksafecontractor #prequalifyingscheme #propertymanagement #charteredinstituteofecologyandenvironmentalmanagement #charteredinstituteofhorticulture #shropshirechamberofcommerce #federationofsmallbusinesses #farmestatemanagement #arboricultureassociation #instituteofcharteredforesters #Good2Great

💡 How an evening of celebration confirmed my views on the evolution of SEO... When I started my journey as a web design and SEO expert just over 3 years ago, it was all about SEO first principles: - Keywords - Content - Links It was the dream career of a self confessed propeller-head! 🤓 It was a special club of SEO guru's who ate, breathed and slept SEO algorithms! But the world of SEO has taken a 180 degree turn of late. It has been a long time coming. SEO is an integral part of a business's overall marketing strategy! 📈 I hardly check the algorithms these days. My conversations involve getting latest real world updates from our clients. We've become their marketing personal trainers and accountability partners. SME Digital is a marketing agency who's specialty is Web and SEO. What does this mean for our clients? It means we offer: - Personalised Plans: We analyse your business needs to develop a bespoke SEO strategy that delivers results. 🚀 - Expert Guidance: Leave the SEO geeky stuff to us, while you focus on running your business and serving new clients. 🏃♂️ - Consistent Monitoring: We continuously monitor marketing performance to maintain & improve business results. 💻 - Motivation & Accountability: We hold businesses accountable to their growth goals by keeping your overall marketing strategy on the path to success. 🔥 Celebrating with fellow Local Business Awards - Northern Beaches finalists at the Dee Why RSL last week confirmed all this. Congratulations to all our fellow finalists, neighbours, strategic partners and most importantly, some of our valued clients. A huge congratulations to all! Can't wait to see the results of the Local Business Awards - North Shore (13 Aug '24), where we have some clients celebrating as finalists too! 🥇 #SEO #DigitalMarketing #Growth

I have really enjoyed the work we have been doing with UK Sport to support some of their leaders, but the design principles and processes are consistent with all of our clients. We support them to identify the behaviours they most need to develop, and then we create learning programmes and experiences tailored specifically to meet them, whether that's in their workplace, a classroom or at our training site. #leadershipdevelopment #peopledevelopment #experientiallearning #BecomeExtraordinary
