West Country Women’s Award

Boost is awarded the West Country Women’s Award Small Business of the Year! 

 

The Boost team are absolutely thrilled to have won the West Country Women’s Award for Small Business of the Year – what a way to kick off December’s festivities! 

 

Sam and her mum Sue donned their posh frocks to attend the event at the swanky Crowne Plaza Hotel in Plymouth. Obviously Sue was also sporting her Boost under her ballgown, but everyone was thrilled to find out that Sue was not the only Boost wearer at the event. 

 

The fabulous Susan Willis from The Queens at 46 (https://www.facebook.com/thequeensat46/) showed off a Boost of her own when she stepped onto the stage with Kate Richards to accept their Green Award. Standing on the stage, Susan received a rapturous cheer as she whipped out her Boost to show the audience, thanking Sam and Boost for her breast form. The crowd erupted into applause and the atmosphere was amazing! 

 

Luckily Sam managed to capture this on a short video – you can see it in our Instagram pages here: 

 

“I couldn’t believe it, that there was another Boost in the room at this event. And for Susan to give us a shout out on the stage created the most fabulous moment. Mum and I were thrilled! The whole event was so much fun and such a wonderful celebration of different achievements. We had a wonderful time!” 

 

Congratulations to all the wonderful winners on the night, we are delighted that we have joined this wonderful cohort of women!
