Nectar Business launched their first Small Business Awards in March 2009. The Small Business Awards were open to all UK Small Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and set out to acknowledge best practice, great ideas and outstanding achievements.

There were three Small Business Awards to enter:

 

Small Business of the Year

 

Start Up of the Year

 

Entrepreneur of the Year

 

U Star Novels was a finalist in the Small Business of the Year category.

 

Charlie Humphreys, Nectar Client Development Director says:

 

"Everyone who runs a small business, especially in the current climate, has to work extremely hard to get it off the ground and make a success of it. The awards have represented a fantastic opportunity to celebrate great business ideas, business practice and people and I would like to congratulate all the small businesses from across the UK that entered."
