Catherine Storey, founder of the Northamptonshire-based strategic communications agency Freshbat, has been shortlisted for two significant business awards.
The Brackley-based entrepreneur is a finalist in the Female Business Leader category at the National Women’s Business Awards (National_Business_Woman)and in the Small Business of the Year category at the NNBN Awards (nnbnawards).
Despite launching Freshbat during the challenging period of the Coronavirus pandemic, the company has seen rapid growth. Now in its fourth year, Freshbat is on track to double its turnover, reflecting the strong demand for its strategic communications services.
Catherine Storey expressed her excitement about the recognition, stating, “I am thrilled to have been shortlisted for both these awards. To have been recognised by the local business community with the NNBN award is testament to the supportive business community in Northamptonshire, and to have been shortlisted for a national business award at the same time is the icing on the cake.”
The nominations not only highlight Freshbat’s business success but also underscore Catherine’s leadership and strategic vision. She noted the challenges faced when launching the business during one of the most uncertain economic periods in recent history, expressing pride in the company’s growth and resilience. “I’m extremely proud to have grown the company despite the economic circumstances and delighted to have been shortlisted alongside some really impressive businesses,” she added.
Catherine looks forward to the upcoming awards ceremonies later in the year, where she will celebrate with the other finalists. The recognition from both local and national bodies showcases Freshbat’s impact in the strategic communications field and marks a significant milestone in the company’s journey.
