Yesterday was a special day at Bolser HQ... The Lord Lieutenant for West Yorkshire presented our founder, Ashley, with the official trophy and scroll signed by King Charles III in honour of Bolser’s recent King’s Award for Enterprise win. Ashley spoke of the highs, lows and learnings over two decades leading up to today in his speech. One thing's for sure, we’ll continue to ‘Go Beyond’ as we always have done and provide world-class work for our clients, from Yorkshire to Washington. The full Bolser team, clients and The King's Awards for Enterprise's officials gathered at our office in the historic Marshall Mills building in Holbeck to celebrate the achievement and we couldn’t be prouder!

🎉 Yesterday, LUMINOUS was invited by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon Rachel Reeves, to Downing Street for the International Investment Summit Entrepreneurs Reception. 🤯 Following the main summit on Monday, this event was referred to as the "after-party for the cool kids"! There certainly were some amazing people in the room doing mind-blowing work! 🤝 I had some fascinating conversations with Jonathan Reynolds MP, the team from the Department for Business and Trade, and a number of founders and scale-up business owners. 💥 There was a huge amount of positivity in the room from the businesses I spoke with and the government, and it was great to be able to provide feedback directly to the decision-makers on the issues that affect growth. 📈 Part of achieving big goals is believing they are possible – to get that positivity directly from the top is very welcome indeed! Time to think BIGGER! #UKBusiness #Specialeffects #UKGovernment #Startups #DepartmentForBusinessAndTrade #KingsAward
