Here at Oakwood Doors we are proud to announce that we have won the Local Business Accelerators (LBA) campaign!
LBA is an initiative started by the regional press industry to boost local businesses and is fronted by none other than Dragons’ Den star, Deborah Meaden.
To win the competition company sales director, Mandie Joyce, had to brave a Dragon’s Den style pitch made up of leading business experts including; Prof Bob Cryan, Vice-chancellor of Huddersfield University; Jeremy Garside, managing partner of law firm Chadwick Lawrence; and the Examiner’s commercial director Paul O’Halloran, field sales manager Diane Briggs and business correspondent Henryk Zientek.
Oakwood Doors was one of eight firms taking part in the competition and is included in one of three winners including Go-Go Gaggia of Slaithwaite and Wokilicious of Huddersfield.
After the competition the judges were unanimous in their decisions and praised all three businesses for innovation, enthusiasm and company potential.
Thanks to the competition, Oakwood Doors shall now be appearing in an advertising campaign seen in the Examiner along with the possibility to represent the region in the national LBA campaign.
Winning nationally will mean an advertising campaign devised by a top London creative agency, £10,000, and more impressively, a year’s worth of mentoring from Deborah Meaden herself.
