Nick Evans of EvaBuild commented:
“It’s a decade since we entered and won the Start-up award at the Powys Business Awards. The boost that this gave to our profile undoubtedly helped shape our future. It just feels right to now sponsor and support these awards to help other start-ups get that same lift.”
“For any business to take that decision to start, is a hugely brave and courageous step. It’s easy for us to forget just how daunting and all-consuming it is in the early stages of business. These amazing awards help profile some of those fantastic startup businesses that exist in Powys, and hopefully give them a boost towards achieving future successes.”
