Paul Strickland Scanner Centre has been chosen as a finalist for the best social enterprise business at this year’s Small Awards.
Now in its eighth year, The Small Awards is a nationwide search for the smallest and greatest firms in the UK, across all sectors. It is organised annually by Small Business Britain, which champions, inspires and accelerates the nation’s 5.5 million small firms.
Paul Strickland Scanner Centre has been providing high-quality medical imaging scans from its Mount Vernon base since 1985. It has been selected as one of just eight finalists for a Mission Possible Award social enterprise award that recognises and awards a small business that is driven by its mission over and above financial performance, that benefits a group, a community or society more widely.
With eleven different categories, the Small Awards celebrate the dynamism and resilience exhibited in the UK’s small business sector, across everything from sustainability heroes to digital stars, to long-standing family businesses.
“The Small Awards is all about celebrating the inspiring small business owners who are at the heart of the economy and their communities,” said Michelle Ovens CBE, Founder of Small Business Britain. “They are an opportunity to recognise and applaud the passion and resilience of the nation’s small firms, particularly amidst such turbulent times. Paul Strickland Scanner Centre is extremely deserving of being shortlisted for this award and we can’t wait to celebrate with them in May.”
Claire Strickland, Paul Strickland Scanner Centre CEO, said: “Our high-quality imaging service plays a critical role in successful cancer treatment for thousands of patients every year and we are thrilled to be shortlisted for this award.”
Judged by a panel of industry experts, the winners of all categories, including the overall winner of the Small Business of the Year award, will be announced at a splendid awards ceremony in London on 16 May, 2024.
The ceremony will this year be held at St Mary’s church in London, with plans underway for a night of entertainment, inspiration, and celebration for UK’s greatest small businesses.
