Charity and Community
“Building Blocks Solutions is delighted to have won the 2020 award for Charity and Community 2009. When we formed Building Bocks Solutions seven years ago we had no way of knowing that our small social enterprise would become the launching pad for a range of innovative services supporting the local community and that we would positively benefit the lives of literally thousands of individuals.
We are very pleased to have achieved recognition for the work we do for both children and adults in the area and we feel that this award not only celebrates our achievements, but it also validates the hard work and commitment that our staff team have put in to making Building Blocks Solutions such a success.”

Best Business Start Up
“Hall-Fast Industrial Supplies was delighted to be awarded the Mansfield 2020 Best Start Up Business award in 2009.
We joined Mansfield 2020 in November 2008 to raise the awareness of our products and services to the local business community with the overall aim of increasing our customer base locally; we felt that entering the awards would also help to raise our profile.
The process of entering the awards was straight forward and winning the award has been extremely beneficial to our business since we have received extensive press coverage locally and our achievement has also been recognised nationally in industry specific publications. Many new doors have been opened for us as a result of winning this award.
The awards evening was tremendous and winning the award was reward for all of our team’s hard work.”

Business of the Year
"Winning! What a great feeling. Yes, we all like to be winners, however one has to be confident enough with our own particular business to do it. I am sure that if anyone looks deep enough into their business they can be a winner. Being creative and innovative in any business is indeed a great asset, it can be the one thing that stands out from the rest. Being a winner puts a spring in the step of all staff members, it creates a feeling of worth, appreciation and achievement. To be nominated for any award is indeed being a winner. To win is the icing on the cake. Don’t just think about it. Do it. And give yourself a big smile."
