MAGAZINE: TV Dragon announces winners of Nectar Business Small Business Awards

Boasting business prowess and glowing customer testimonials, Ventia Ltd amazed the judging panel, including star of TV’s Dragons’ Den, Sarah Willingham.

The company says it isn’t quite like other serviced office providers; and understands that many people want to work somewhere a little different, with style and wow-factor.

Its interior designers create an individual feel at each of its sites.

Sarah commented: “Ventia is a really deserving winner of Nectar Business’ Small Business of the Year prize. Their success from design led conversions of period buildings into unique office spaces is inspired.

“Britain has a great entrepreneurial appetite and SMEs are the backbone of our economy. I really was wowed by this year’s Nectar Business Small Business Award winners. All six winners reiterate that with hard work and a clear vision, anything’s possible. I hope that their achievements will motivate others to activate their own business ideas.”

Steve Baker, founder of Ventia Ltd commented: “It’s brilliant to have recognition in our sector and this win is an endorsement of the strength of our business, something our clients and customers will be pleased to hear.”
