Swift Hits the Red Carpet at The Creme De La Crème Awards
On the 15th of November, the Swift team had the pleasure of attending The Cheshire Club’s Crème De La Crème Awards at the stunning Cranage Hall in Holmes Chapel. This prestigious event was all about celebrating the brilliance of businesses across Cheshire, and we were thrilled to be shortlisted for the ‘Small Business of The Year’ award.
The evening’s theme was pure Hollywood Glam. Suited and booted in our finest black-tie outfits, we were ready to toast not just our success, but the achievements of businesses doing incredible things in our community.
A Celebration With Heart
While the evening was undeniably glamorous, it wasn’t all about the glitz. One of the most moving moments of the night came when we heard stories shared on behalf of East Cheshire Hospice. These tales of compassion, strength, and humanity reminded us of the incredible work the Hospice does in supporting individuals and families during some of life’s toughest moments.
Hearing how they help people truly live – even in end-of-life care – put so much into perspective for us. It was a humbling reminder of the importance of giving back and cherishing the little things. Inspired by their stories, the team got stuck into the evening’s raffle and prize auction, doing our bit to support this life-changing organisation.
Connecting with Fellow Changemakers
One of the best parts of the evening was the chance to connect with other local businesses making waves in Cheshire. We extended invitations to the The Nantwich Clinic – and we couldn’t have spent the night with a better bunch! Between courses, we shared laughs, swapped stories, and got to know Kate Fox, their Clinic Manager, and Faith Tew, Manager of the Patient Care Coordinators.
It’s always inspiring to meet fellow business leaders who are as passionate about what they do as we are. Plus, it didn’t hurt that the wine was flowing and the conversation was as lively as the dance floor would later become.
Celebrating Success in Style
The awards ceremony itself was a fantastic showcase of local talent and innovation, with businesses big and small being recognised for their contributions. Although we didn’t take home the trophy this time, just being shortlisted amongst such fierce competition was an honour in itself. It’s a testament to the hard work, creativity, and bold ideas we pour into everything we do at Swift.
But the night didn’t end with the awards. After celebrating everyone’s successes, we let our hair down and hit the dance floor. With tunes that had everyone up and grooving, the room was alive with energy – a perfect end to an unforgettable night.
A Big Thank You
We’d like to thank The Cheshire Club for organising such a spectacular event and giving us the opportunity to celebrate alongside some of Cheshire’s finest businesses. Events like these remind us why we do what we do, and why we love being part of this thriving local community.
To our fellow nominees and winners: congratulations! And to East Cheshire Hospice: thank you for the incredible work you do and for inspiring us all to support such a worthy cause.
As we left Cranage Hall, still buzzing from the night’s festivities, one thing was clear: this is just the beginning for Swift.
Watch this space because we’ve got big things coming!
