Award Evening Celebrates Small Businesses in South Bucks

Make Our Day Events organised an award evening for the South Bucks and Aylesbury branch of the Federation of Small Businesses. The event celebrated the success and diversity of the small and micro companies who belong to the FSB by presenting the first SME Advocate award to outgoing chairman of Wycombe District Council, Bill Bendyshe-Brown, in appreciation of the support that small businesses in Wycombe District had received from the him during his period in office.

Bill organised a series of Business Breakfasts across Wycombe District during the winter, to listen to the concerns and issues faced by companies with 10 or fewer employees. His working group followed up on the information gained through this SME initiative and continues to do so.

Every aspect of the evening was created by a member of the FSB.

All the photos of the event used on this page were taken by professional photographer and FSB member Peter-Davey.com Visual Solutions.

The Venue

The venue was the Out of the Dark Studios in High Wycombe, a Street Dreams project, and all of the people greeting guests and serving food and drinks at the event were involved with the enterprise.
