He said: “the FSB is so proud to take the step to sponsor and celebrate the success and growth of start up businesses. It is wholly appropriate as we are the largest business organisation in the UK and have 4,500 members across East Sussex and about 1000 in 1066 Country. FSB and non-FSB members alike are encouraged to apply, as this Award will bring together everything your business has achieved so far and give your business a tremendous profile to take it to the next level.”
