7 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 A high-quality yet affordable service that enables small, rural businesses to use digital tools to advertise their services, all whilst being highly tailored and personal. Konzepts dream come true solutions have won it the Best Rural Business Social Media Management & Content Marketing Agency 2022 award and a quick peek will showcase why. Coming from a farming childhood in Germany, Sue Harbottle-Sear noticed a gap in the market whilst helping to manage the social media for a friend’s business. This would become Konzepts in 2017, a service to provide small, rural businesses with the digital tools to market their business. From crafting and hosting a bespoke website or opening and managing new and existing social media sites, Konzepts brings every business it works with into cyberspace with clear and concise methods to achieve their marketing needs. The stats speak for themselves: ten websites launched, 25 happy clients, and 36,5000 curated posts on social media all in just 12 months. For a small team working in and around Kent and East Sussex, that is beyond impressive. The team tailor its management to the needs of each project, getting to know its clients’ business and values to ensure an expert fit to their needs. Providing Apr22436 Konzepts, The Marketing Company for All Rural Businesses measurable results using targeted digital media campaigns and websites, all whilst sticking to its honest, open, service-before-profit values. The preferred clientele remains small businesses, with the team looking to service and give back to its local community. So, a focus on affordability remains; Konzepts exists to service businesses that may struggle with digital marketing. Looking to take the stress off their shoulders and manage them in its stead – at a price that won’t break the bank. With social media management from as little as £90 a month, it’s a steal! Konzepts is still, by its founder’s reckoning, in its early days. Yet that makes its successes and forward-thinking even more impressive. A longstanding plan is in place to greatly expand the Southeast England-focussed market to a national (and then international) scope, via franchising. A plan that is already working, as Konzepts is welcoming its first franchisee. Additionally, alongside continuing to develop the business, Konzepts founder is looking to branch out with Moos – a UK-based news source and aggregator, looking to move past intrusive adverts and clickbait (as well as paywalled tabloids and publications) to be unlike any other content provider of its type. An evolution of Konzepts values for openness and transparency in a brand-new format. Forward-thinking, personable, and affordable, Konzepts Ltd. is truly a dream come true for those looking for a dedicated and proven team of digital marketers. Its franchising efforts are sure to bring its specific brand of warm and effective marketing across the country, before branching out to take the world. And we are certain its success in the Southeast will translate to even further success as it continues to grow. Contact: Sue Harbottle-Sear Company: Konzepts Ltd. Web Address: konzepts.co.uk

8 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 (www.benefitscloud.co.uk), which is a simple to use, flexible online platform that provides access to a range of retail discounts, deals, and offers, enabling the individual to save money. However, the company hasn’t got to where it is today without facing multiple challenges head on; since being established over nine years ago (when still in the aftermath of the 2008/09 recession), the most significant challenge it has faced is the COVID-19 pandemic. Whilst this jettisoned HR to the top of most business’ agendas, many organisations mothballed and opportunities for growth became limited. Adam comments, “It was important for us to stay relevant, retain an active presence, and do whatever we could to ensure we not only survived, but came out of the difficult period in the strongest possible shape. We did this through careful control of our own costs, but also by continuing to invest in our social media and marketing campaigns, sharing information and helpful resources for other business owners at their time of greatest need. We feel this really helped us and ensured potential clients knew we were still ready and able to help them, whenever they needed us.” And Petaurum HR wouldn’t be what it is without its outstanding team. Adam tells us, “As Steve Jobs famously said, ‘Great things in business are never done by one person; they’re done by a team of people’. Our team are everything and as captured in our values, we fundamentally believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. We each have a different set of skills, experience, and approaches, but the glue that holds us together is our sense of purpose, shared values, and commitment to what we’re aiming to achieve.” When Adam and Mark set up the business, they made a pledge to themselves that whilst working Petaurum HR was incorporated in May 2012 and started trading in January 2013 with the mission to provide the full breadth of HR services, from large-scale transformation and consulting projects, one-off pieces of work for individual clients, and the provision of straightforward HR advice and support to its retained clients. Its largest client has 27,000 employees and its smallest, just one! In light of the firm’s extraordinary success within the UK Enterprise Awards 2022, we got in touch with Co-Founder and Director, Adam Davey to learn more. The story of Petaurum HR begins in a Costa Coffee, where cofounders, Adam Davey and Mark Dyer were thinking about a company name – Why Petaurum HR? Petaurum (Pet-or-um) is Latin for springboard, encapsulating what the firm is about and what it wants to achieve – providing all its clients with a springboard to launch them towards their business goals. Petaurum HR’s expert team creates bespoke solutions for clients which align with their culture, business objectives, and aspirations. With over 90 years’ combined experience, their support adds value to clients’ people management approaches, giving them the expertise they require, when they need it. Formed out of a passion for providing a jargonfree and effective way of supporting companies, its team believes in and enjoys collaborating with like-minded people who value integrity, fairness, and loyalty. By working in this way, they aim to develop long-term relationships and provide only the best HR service and support. Adam Davey says, “We always say there are lots of HR providers out there, but there is no-one else who does HR the way we do! It’s us, our team, and the special relationships we develop with our clients that make us unique. We don’t do vanilla. In our experience, business owners and directors don’t want bland, generic advice. We bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the table to provide advice that is specifically tailored to their situation and the outcome they’re looking for.” What also makes Petaurum HR stand out is that, unusually for an HR provider, it has developed its own employee benefits portal, Benefits Cloud HR Consultancy of the Year 2022 Apr22235 hard, they would have some fun along the way, reward performance, and share the company’s success. ‘Team’ is important to them, which means working with people whose attitude and values fit with the unique team culture and values, who have the right level of motivation to succeed, who can perform within the working environment, and who have the ability to succeed in the job. Now focused on the future, Adam and Petaurum HR’s plans are to drive further growth and help more clients to achieve their own business goals by supporting them with the right advice at the right time. The aim is also to further develop the team with the recruitment of more HR advisers and hopefully an apprentice. This is in addition to continuing to diversify Benefits Cloud into the clubs and associations market, and continuing to support charity partners, St Barnabas (www.stbarnabashospice.co.uk) and SimPal (www.yoursimpal.com) through innovation, time, and sponsorship.

9 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 Described as the Best Healthcare Information Management Solutions Provider of 2022, CCube Solutions is dedicated to providing digital technologies to the NHS to help in various ways, from minimising the handling of physical notes and records to ensuring that patient information is available at the point of need and support remote consultations and Virtual Clinics (seen as crucial for reducing unnecessary outpatient visits, saving time and money for patients and the health service Designed and built with NHS practitioners using Microsoft’s latest technologies, CCube Solutions’ award-winning solutions deliver electronic health records to clinicians, secretaries, and administrators in the format they require, when, and where needed. Explaining the company’s overall offerings, Managing Director and Founder Dr Vijay says, “CCube Solutions helps Trusts and Health Boards alike digitise legacy patient medical records. We make this information available to clinicians and other health professionals at the point of care. It supports the Government’s drive that the NHS should be using technology to improve productivity, reduce costs and ultimately enhance patient care.” Developed with the NHS and utilising an open, client/server architecture, the CCube suite is customisable, fast to deploy, easy to integrate, scalable, standards-based, feature-rich, and compliant with current legislation and data protection rules.

Adding on to this statement, Dr Vijay explains, “84% of healthcare organisations believe that their hospital has been impacted by incorrect or missing data, due to paper processes. The problems have been further compounded during the Covid-19 pandemic. With digital health records helping to reduce face-to-face contact and protect patients and staff, it minimises the risk of Covid-19 infection. In addition, it allows practitioners to access patient information anywhere without compromising the integrity of care provided. That’s why the future must include paper-lite initiatives that comply with regulations and help increase patient care quality.” With an innovative solution to help better the lives of its clients and the individuals served by these businesses, CCube Solutions is heading in the perfect direction as the Best Healthcare Information Management Solutions Provider.

10 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 Over the course of two decades in the photography sphere, Michael J Duke has made a name for himself, resulting in his pieces being featured in exhibitions across the globe. His platform has grown exponentially over the years, and now, he is turning his attention towards aiding others in the industry. Michael J Duke is a photographer in his own right, possessing numerous accolades and recognitions for his work. Indeed, his story begins on his tenth birthday – he was gifted a Kodak Brownie 127 camera, and from there his talents bloomed. It was not until 2000, however, that Michael began to take photography seriously. Whilst it had always been a hobby, his membership with the Tel Aviv Camera Club is what inspired, and subsequently spawned, his photography career. In 2001, the Tel Aviv Camera Club’s chairman, Moshe Taub, landed Michael his first exhibition. This, of course, was to be the first of many. As of 2022, Michael has had his work displayed in many prestigious locations, competitions, and exhibitions, including the Royal Academy of Arts, London, XIII Florence Biennale 2019 and 2021, Italy, and the Phoenix Cinema, London. As his platform expanded over the years, Michael turned his attention to assisting others within the photography field. Starting off within photographic print sales, Michael’s endeavours have grown to include exhibition design and set up. This includes photographic event publicity, which covers contacting and liaising with local press through to writing and editing the Hampstead Photographic Society newsletter, which he originated in 2006. Of course, due to the nature of this evolution, Michael’s work has extended from the local scene to a national scale, and finally to international level. Clients are invited to place their trust in Michael from the word ‘go.’ As his work is publicly and digitally displayed, it is abundantly explicit as to what exactly Michael’s standards are. Moreover, much of his work is portrayed alongside the accolade that it earned, including photographic distinctions from the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique, the Photographic Society of America, and the Global Photographic Union. However, the photography world is constantly changing – for example, social media is now an effective way of getting your work out there. Over Best Photography Exhibition & Business Support Enterprise 2022 the past few years, largely thanks to the ongoing pandemic, the use of social media within the arts has become increasingly prevalent. Apps such as Instagram have made photo sharing incredibly easy and within a few clicks of a button, or taps on a screen, you can create a digital portfolio of your work. ‘As someone who was already using social media,’ Michael comments, ‘I feel lucky not to be lagging behind.’ He describes the platforms as ‘wonderful’ for advertising, and often utilises Facebook, LinkedIn, and his own website to promote his activities. It is Michael’s devotion to remaining on top of the current trends that truly marks him as a professional – one that can be trusted to provide an excellent standard of work, one that possesses an up to date understanding of the industry, and one that truly cares about photography. The Covid-19 pandemic forced many galleries to close their doors and, rather controversially, the arts remained on the backburner in terms of funding. Yet Michael believes in the power and importance of physical art venues, be it galleries or art fairs. As the world returns to a semblance Apr22367 of normality, there is certainly hope for such establishments as they begin to reopen. The pandemic has left an impact on Michael and his business – one that has left him considering how to effectively balance his new-found digital presence with his desire to continue exhibiting pieces in physical locations. During this time, Michael saw an increase in online attention, and he hopes to pursue these contacts further over the next year. ‘I am always considering projects,’ he states, ‘One of the advantages of the internet is getting to know online galleries who run competitions. Before going public with any project, I like to test opinions by entering images from each project into the online galleries. If they do well, then I get into testing local exhibition spaces.’ One of his most recent projects, titled Birds On The Move, is currently circulating amongst these platforms and has been gaining popularity – perhaps the coming year will see Birds On The Move find its home in a physical exhibition.

The independent PR Agency is run by Directors Kevin Kelway and Ian Fleming that are also a husband-and-husband team - and been together for 30 years. Dorcas Media punches above its weight on the UK and global stages - and considers itself a boutique that is its strength, and not a weakness, said Managing Director, Kevin Kelway.

13 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 Situated in the 120-year-old building that was for many years known to the residents of Horley and beyond as The Coppingham Arms Pub is the Jai Ho Restaurant, a hub for Indian cuisine that combines the traditional conviviality of dining with innovation in a menu that exemplifies the best of Indian food. Following a three-month renovation of the pub, Jai Ho opened its doors in December 2009 as a 60-cover restaurant. By 2012, the restaurant had spread its wings with an impressive extension that allowed for 120 guests – a capacity it regularly reaches. Whilst the recent pandemic put a brief pause to inhouse business, Jai Ho continued to answer the significant demand for its offering with an unparalleled takeaway service that has now become a central pillar of its operations. Meanwhile, the restaurant itself expanded to include an outdoor seating area that would allow guests to continue enjoying the Jai Ho experience, until such time that government restrictions were eased. Best Authentic Indian Dining Experience - East Surrey However, it comes as no surprise that Jai Ho remains in such high demand more than a decade after its inception. The team’s mission is certainly no secret; as they say themselves, “We are about being innovative in our cuisine, promoting our industry, giving our customers that extra factor and value-added experience. “The most important thing is for us to have the consistency to never disappoint our customers.” This drive has seen guests from all over the world visiting Jai Ho over the years, many of whom arrive at Gatwick Airport eager to tuck into some delicious food. Jai Ho has even welcomed some famous faces – Peter Andre, BoyZone’s Shane Lynch and Ella Ayres, to name a few – and has also been relied on to cater for VIP events. In 2017, Radio Absolute recruited Jai Ho to provide for the Christian O’Connell show, while elsewhere, the restaurant catered at a Stereophonics concert. Having proven its mettle in the catering sphere, Jai Ho is regularly called upon to cater and host events of all sizes: from intimate dinner parties to birthday events to whole wedding parties. “Indian cuisine is all about sitting together, enjoying with friends and family over a big, hearty meal,” says the Jai Ho team. “We understand that! Our inhouse decor is beautifully arranged to offer you the same warm and cosy Indian dining experience.” The combination of fantastic cuisine and welcoming ambience has seen Jai Ho applauded over and over for its winning dining experience. Rated Number 1 by TripAdvisor for its region, Jai Ho has been finalists in the English Curry Awards 11 years in a row; has won Restaurant of the Year South East category in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018; Service Team of the Year and General Manager of the Year 2017, in addition to its most recent success at the Southern Enterprise Awards 2021. Meanwhile, Jai Ho’s Head Chef has been a finalist for Chef of the Year in both 2018 and 2019. Of course, the challenges of COVID and the last year have proven to be a significant obstacle that the restaurant is looking to overcome – from the public needing to tighten their belts due to rising costs, to the cost of produce increasing. Yet, it is the restaurant’s contributions to its community that truly sets it apart in the restaurant sector of the South of England. From charitable functions in support of the local hospice, to its regular fundraising activities with Lions Club for local and national and charities, to its participation in the Horley in Bloom Award and even its sponsorship of the local cricket team, Smallfield Cricket Club, Jai Ho is an established pillar of the Horley community. As such, the whole of Horley can take great pride in the restaurant’s most recent accolade of Best Authentic Indian Cuisine Restaurant - South East Surrey.

15 | UK Enterprise Awards 2022 “Our efficient processes with these modern themes have given customers confidence in our ability to deliver to their expectations.” Legacy Cars Ltd is an award-winning family-run business which has been trading since April 2018, with the aim of changing the stereotypes around car sales into an informal, transparent, and relaxed setting. This is done with the motto of ‘Valuing Value’, looking to provide quality vehicles at reasonable prices whilst catering for each customer’s unique needs. Having previously received an accolade from SME News in 2020 in the form of Most Trusted Car Dealership and Serving Centre – West London, we are delighted to be awarding this company again. Join us as we take a look at why. Four years ago, Wayne Brendon Blackwood (known as ‘Brendon’) founded Legacy Cars in memory of his parents, and it is derived from a family legacy of putting faith first. Wayne’s parents arrived in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, and they shared a love of buying cars with each other – a passion which carried through to their son. Brendon shares, “My mother was like my heartbeat, epitomising fairness and good faith; taking pride in the happiness she gave to people, regardless of their backgrounds. It was the character of the person which mattered most, and this ethos formed a part of me. The incredible emotion my mother gave when seeing my honest effort turned into a reward that is beyond any expressible means.” And with Legacy Cars, his goal is to capture and spread this feeling to all its customers, through value for money, and respect. Each of Legacy Cars’ vehicles are handpicked and checked for their quality and history for the customer’s peace of mind, with the team only selling vehicles that they would be happy to own themselves long-term. The ultimate aim is that customers leave with a lasting feel-good factor they can share with their family, friends, and loved ones. Speaking about his customer base, Brendon says, “The UK has a great appetite for the motor vehicle industry and this has been the case for my entire living memory.” For those customers who are looking for car finance deals, Legacy Cars can act as a credit broker thanks to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). And when it comes to car viewings, it has become necessary to implement these on an appointment basis in order to safeguard the public with regards to covid-19. It has also incorporated UK-wide home delivery. Brendon tells us, “Our efficient processes with these modern themes have given customers confidence in our ability to deliver to their expectations.” And the journey doesn’t end at sale either; the company offers ongoing support in partnership with selected used car warranty providers from a solution-focused mindset, and it fully supports its customers should a claim arise. Very important to Legacy Cars’ service and internal culture is diversity and inclusion. Protected characteristics are truly embraced at Legacy Cars, in particular the empowering of more women to join the automotive sector. The automotive sector has been stereotyped for years around unprofessional behaviour, over saturation of men, and sales and service platforms that are not culturally diverse. Legacy Cars’ business model goes fully against the grain and is able to produce a superior end product and a positive sales experience. Now looking towards the future, Legacy Cars is showing no signs of stopping anytime soon. It is Apr22304 Best Pre-Owned Vehicle Dealership - West London aiming to grow as a business and to capitalise into the transition to electric vehicles, and we are certainly rooting for its continued success within the industry.
