Catherine, one of the eleven achievers recognised in last year’s ceremony, shares her experience of winning the Micro Business Award, which was sponsored by BusinessFit.
“I am a proud South African and to be recognised by your home country for the work you are doing abroad was a wonderful feeling! I was nominated by the amazing Charlotte Coetzee. In 2019, I was four years into my entrepreneurial journey and I felt powerful validation and a great sense of pride upon hearing about the nomination. The event was outstanding! Both my husband and I were blown away by the South African hospitality, ambience, food and energy of the people in the room. It was a wonderful evening that made all involved even more proudly South African. The South African spirit that runs through all involved makes the SACC Community & Business Awards special. I have gone on to meet some amazing people and make some interesting and useful connections through the Chamber. I highly recommend finding a way to become a part of this community.”
SACC Business & Community Awards is a celebration of the best efforts and achievements of the South African community in the UK, all wrapped up into a fantastic gala evening.
