00:03 It's been so inspiring to see so many businesses

00:13 from such a wide range of sectors

00:15 come together to celebrate the dynamic enterprising business

00:19 community right here in Yorkshire.

00:20 There's so much bad news out there,

00:22 and yet people have got their heads down.

00:24 They're grafting.

00:25 They're learning how to do business differently.

00:27 And to have a vision and a mission and a purpose

00:30 that allows you to go and grow what you've

00:32 started into an incredible successful business

00:35 is just aspirational.

00:36 It would be fantastic to get other brands

00:39 under our umbrella.

00:40 We're venturing into the US, which is very exciting.

00:43 So we're due to launch in another market this year,

00:45 Germany.

00:46 So we're trying to take our brand

00:48 and take it across the world.

00:49 We're really excited to announce a new warehouse in Barnsley.

00:53 We've just invested in a brand new facility.

01:00 Being a leader of an organization

01:01 is not necessarily easy, and it doesn't

01:04 mean that you're perfect.

01:05 And you do make mistakes.

01:06 And I think it's important for us to all be really

01:08 honest and open about that.

01:09 Don't be afraid to maybe go outside of your comfort zone.

01:14 You need a really good management team

01:15 that allows you to concentrate on growing the company.

01:18 Be a good business by being kind and good to the planet

01:20 and the people who work for us.

01:22 It's nice to meet new people.

01:23 You can see synergies with other companies and opportunities.

01:27 And I'm Yorkshire born and bred, so I'm

01:30 proud of the Yorkshire Awards.

01:32 This is a beating heart of the Yorkshire economy.

01:36 This is the engine room of growth.

01:38 I love this event.

01:39 The room is buzzing.

01:41 I'm so proud.

01:42 It's so good to see what's going on in our region.
