Winner: Business Of The Year 2026

What an unforgettable evening! Having never entered any form of business awards before, I headed to the prestigious Stratford Herald Business Awards, accompanied by my husband, as a proud finalist for Best Business Innovation. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that I’d leave as the winner of the biggest award of the night: Business of the Year!

Completely unexpected and totally surreal, this is a 'pinch me' moment I’ll never forget. To have the hard work, creativity and passion behind The Enchanted Dreamer recognised in such an incredible way means more than I can put into words.

I’m absolutely over the moon and so proud of how far The Enchanted Dreamer has come. Thank you to everyone who has supported my little business and helped make this possible. What a dream come true! ✨ Below are some snippets from the evening together with the news articles.

Thank you to The Stratford Herald and the Crowne Plaza Hotel for hosting such an incredible event. To Kevin from Porterbrook for putting my name forward and recognising the immense passion that I have for my business. Thank you to all of the sponsors on the night and huge congratulations to the other finalists and winners!
