I would encourage anyone thinking about applying, not to give up. Having attended the workshop this time last year, we were clearer on the evidence that we needed to have to re-apply and that made it easier for us second time round.
Achieving the Award shows that the business is sustainable and that the systems and processes we have in place are actually working.
