Other accolades include creating a staff wellbeing and inclusion ‘circle’, givingbcolleagues a voice to help senior members of the team improve wellbeing, satisfaction and inclusion.
The communications firm has also done its part to the local community by designing a pro bono package of PR support to local charity Without Walls and its Thrive project, which supports those with mental health needs and combats loneliness.
MIH Solutions became the main sponsor of Dunstall Cricket Club’s junior section. This arrangement is helping Dunstall to deliver on its mission of providing year-round training and playing opportunities to young players of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Wileman from Select Car Leasing Burton upon Trent became Burton’s Rising Star.
He joined Select Car Leasing in 2021 as a senior leasing consultant to provide a 5-star customer service by helping clients identify and choose the right vehicle and contract dependent upon their needs and requirements.
His focus and drive led to Select Car Leasing earning a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating with over 33,000 reviews. It has also led to over a 1,500+ enquiries submitted from clients of the Burton office alone and he has successfully consulted 250 new clients whilst also looking after existing customers.
The President’s Award was given to Hardy Signs by Shaun Gray, European managing director Ginho. The firm has completed 30 years in business and has been recognised for the continued success, support and dedication to the Burton chamber of commerce, Burton college, town centre and for their investment into future technology.
Speaking about the winners, head of judges Chris Brewerton said: "In the first year of businesses being encouraged to nominate themselves in both categories, it was hugely encouraging to see the breadth of applications and the quality of the applications and I know the judges were very impressed.
“It was a difficult decision and close call so therefore the winners should be very proud to be able to call themselves Burton’s Hidden Gem and Rising Star for the next 12 months.”
