A little write-up in the Progressive Greetings Magazine in recognition of my Prestige Award:

Independent retailers are being recognised for their winning ways with two card and gift shops picking up no less than four awards between them over the past few days.
Sally Wilde and her Planet Sal store in Honiton, Devon, have chalked up the Prestige Award for Best Card & Gift Shop South West for the second year running – so she’ll be calling on The Blackboard Guy again to update her street advertising.
Delighted with her latest trophy, former card and gift sales agent turned retailer Sally told PG Buzz: “I’m absolutely thrilled – what an honour for me, especially as there are so many amazing shops in our area. Thanks to everyone for your support and for making me smile every day. I have the best customers!”
Having focused on business achievements at a global level for years, Corporate LiveWire realised the important work of small and independent businesses has long been overlooked by most international award programmes so launched the Prestige Awards to show SME businesses are the backbone of any economy.
Osmaan Mahmood, founder and ceo of the Prestige Awards, said: “Although small businesses may not be able to compete with multinational companies on their size and scale, there is a personalised service-driven focus that is often void from large organisations.”
