Home lifestyle specialist Bell of Northampton has been announced as a finalist for Retail Business of the Year and Website of the Year categories in the SME National Business Awards.
The store on Kingsthorpe Road, which has been a fixture in Northampton for 125 years, invested £14,000 to redevelop its website earlier this year, working with Northampton-based Supplyant to create an online shopping destination that gives customers all the inspiration they need to create their dream home.
Having already scooped the Website of the Year award at the SME Northamptonshire Awards in May 2024, pictured, the company says it is thrilled to be a finalist for the National award.
“We’re incredibly proud to be finalists in both the Website of the Year and Retail Business of the Year categories at the SME National Business Awards,” said Lee Ferris, MD of Bell of Northampton. “It’s exciting to be in with a chance of winning this award at national level! Our customers really are the heart of our business so to be recognised for the work we do in ensuring that they receive the best products, service and advice when it comes to all things home and garden, really means the world to the team.”
Targeting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) whose personnel numbers are 250 employees or less, the SME National Business Awards aim to raise the profile of industrious, hardworking and enterprising SMEs nationally. This year’s Awards are made up of 20 categories, with the winners announced at an event to be held at Wembley Stadium, London on Friday 6th December.
