The Story

The Story Behind The Awards

I didn't create the Flamingo Business Awards to hand out trophies.

I created them because I was done watching brilliant business owners go unseen.

As a former teacher turned serial entrepreneur, I know exactly what it takes to build something extraordinary from the ground up. The early mornings. The brave decisions. The wins nobody claps for.

So I built an awards experience that recognises all of it. Not just the revenue, but the resilience, the innovation, the impact and the story behind the brand. Judged with integrity. Celebrated without holding back.

Now in our third year, this has become far more than an awards night. Past finalists and winners have walked out of that room and into major collaborations, media features, bigger audiences and bigger revenue.

Because this isn't just about winning.

It's about being recognised in the right room.

Good Questions

The FAQs

Tickets What's the difference between the tickets? +

Awards LIVE is the daytime experience (9am to 4pm) with speakers, entertainment, lunch and networking. The Awards Night is the evening celebration (7:15pm to midnight) with dinner, entertainment and the ceremony. Full Day & Night gets you both.

Tickets Can I come to the evening only? +

Absolutely. The Awards Night ticket gives you the full evening celebration.

Tickets What's the difference between the two tables? +

Both give you front row seating for 10 at the Awards Night, with your table decorated in your own brand and style, plus dinner, entertainment and the ceremony. The Front Row Table is Awards Night only. The Day & Night Table adds 10 Awards LIVE daytime tickets, so your whole group joins the full day too, and the table host gets a complimentary Panel Seat worth £750.

Tickets Is there a payment plan? +

Yes, pay in 2 on the Full Day & Night ticket.

Tickets Are tickets refundable? +

Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to someone else.

The Day What's the dress code? +

Black tie optional / glamorous evening wear. Think red carpet, not Monday meeting.

The Day Is there an age requirement? +

The event is recommended for ages 16 and over.

The Day Can you cater for dietary or access requirements? +

Of course. Let us know at booking and we'll take care of you.

Finalists When are the winners announced? +

Live on stage at the Awards Night. The Impact Award is revealed on the night only.

Finalists Do finalists have to attend? +

No, but we highly recommend it. An awards night without its finalists is like a party without its guests of honour.

More Are the Awards included in The Revenue Room™? +

Yes. Members receive Awards LIVE and The Awards Night as part of their membership, no separate ticket needed.

More I'd like to sponsor. Where do I start? +

WhatsApp Elizabeth directly and she'll talk you through sponsorship, expo stands and brochure features.
