Double shortlisting at the Growing Business Awards

It’s a year of doubles (and no, we are not referring to tennis). Following our double award win at the Family Business of the Year Awards 2021, we are continuing to make waves within the business community and are delighted to announce we have been named as finalists in not one, but two categories at the Growing Business Awards 2021.

Looking for evidence of increased market penetration, consistent profitable growth, a positive impact on the industry, and finally, a competitive edge, the judges have shortlisted Caribbean Blinds for both ‘Consumer Business of the Year’ and ‘Family-Owned Business of the Year’.

Since 1998, the Growing Business Awards have been bringing together and honouring some of the UK’s most outstanding entrepreneurs and high-growth businesses. Consistent high-quality nominees, an array of categories and a finely-honed judging process have resulted in the Growing Business Awards making a name for themselves as a leading judge of past, current and future entrepreneurial success.

Now entering their 23rd year, the Growing Business Awards are the most credible and highly-valued recognition of exceptional flourishing businesses, which continue to celebrate the strength, vision and resilience of fast-growing SMEs across the UK.

Stuart Dantzic, Managing Director at Caribbean Blinds, commented: “The entire team at Caribbean Blinds is so proud to have been shortlisted for both of these awards. Not only have we proven an exceptional route to market and capacity for further growth and scalability, but to be recognised as a solid, family-run business along with so many other credible firms is an honour. Good luck to all the other finalists – we are keeping our fingers tightly crossed!”

The next stage of the awards is ‘Judging Day’, where two senior members of the Caribbean Blinds team will attend an additional interview at London’s JW Marriott Grosvenor House in September. The winners will then be announced at the awards ceremony on Wednesday 24th November 2021.

In addition to this, we were named as finalists in the Pro Landscaper Business Awards (Supplier and Service Provider) earlier in the year and find out this Friday 30th July if we’ve scooped this highly coveted industry award at the prestigious awards ceremony held at East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf, (keep your fingers crossed for us!).
