Sustainable Wedding Alliance Finalists for Small Business Award

Apr 8, 2024

Sustainable Wedding Alliance has been shortlisted for Britain’s best Sustainable business in the Net Zero 2024 category.

Now in its eighth year, The Small Awards is a nationwide search for the smallest and greatest firms in the UK, across all sectors. It is organised annually by Small Business Britain, which champions, inspires and accelerates the nation’s 5.5 million small firms.

The Sustainable Wedding Alliance was founded in 2020 to drive sustainable change in the wedding industry, building a community of businesses that want to put sustainability at the heart. It has been selected as one of just eight finalists for the Net Zero Award, celebrating innovative, trailblazing small businesses that have climate action, commitment to “Net Zero”, sustainable development and supply chains, at the heart of their business.

Sustainable Wedding Alliance Founder, Michelle Miles said: “We’re thrilled to be shortlisted for the Net Zero Award at the Small Awards 2024. Since founding in 2020, the Sustainable Wedding Alliance has been committed to building a more sustainable wedding industry, and this nomination is a huge recognition of our efforts. We’re excited to continue working with businesses and couples to put sustainability at the heart of weddings.”

With eleven different categories, the Small Awards celebrate the dynamism and resilience exhibited in the UK’s small business sector, across everything from sustainability heroes to digital stars, to long-standing family businesses.

“The Small Awards is all about celebrating the inspiring small business owners who are at the heart of the economy and their communities,” said Michelle Ovens CBE, Founder of Small Business Britain. “They are an opportunity to recognise and applaud the passion and resilience of the nation’s small firms, particularly amidst such turbulent times. The Sustainable Wedding Alliance is extremely deserving of being shortlisted for this award and we can’t wait to celebrate with them in May.”

Judged by a panel of industry experts, the winners of all categories, including the overall winner of the Small Business of the Year award, will be announced at a splendid awards ceremony in London on 16th May, 2024.

The ceremony will this year be held at St Mary’s church in London, with plans underway for a night of entertainment, inspiration, and celebration for UK’s greatest small businesses.
