Well and Truly, an SME that produces great tasting snacks using natural ingredients that are good for you, took one of the top awards at The Lloyds Bank National Business Award 2017 at a gala dinner at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane.
About Well and Truly, the judges said: “From a stand still they are already in Whole Foods, Ocado, WH Smith and 1000 Tesco stores, they particularly impressed the panel with how well their concept had been thought through and then executed. Their relentless drive for innovation has culminated in an outstanding product and a deserving winner.”
Over 1200 business leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians and media representatives gathered at the event which welcomed Britain’s greatest ever distance runner, Sir Mo Farah as headline speaker, as well as Secretary of State for International Trade, Dr Liam Fox.
Alan Rubenstein, CEO of Pension Protection Fund was awarded the Keys Business Concierge Leader of the Year. This award recognises the personal imprint of the UK’s most high profile leaders and industry champions from the private, public and third sectors. The finalists were judged on their achievements as business leaders over the last 18 months, and their personal achievements over the course of their career.
David Oldfield, Group Director, Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking said “We’re proud to support the National Business Awards which celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of businesses and the people leading them. Thriving and innovative businesses such as these are pillars of our communities and crucial for the success of the UK economy.”
