What a night! Full of great entertainment, amazing food, and surrounded by inspiring businesses. I’m still buzzing from it all!For those who don’t know, Northants Fashion & Textiles School was announced as Runner Up in this year’s @nnbnawards Start Up Business of the Year category – and I’m still in shock!To be honest, I went into the evening just hoping for a fun “date night” with my husband and couldn’t believe it when we were called as runners up. Such an unexpected and incredible moment!A huge thank you to @nnbnltd for hosting this amazing celebration of local businesses and to our category sponsor @business_doctors_northampton for their support.
