✨ What a fabulous night celebrating small business! ✨
This year, The Glasses Lady didn’t enter the business awards, but last night The Glasses Lady & The Glasses Mister got dressed up and headed along to the Joondalup Business Awards at The Joondalup Resort, and this time, we were there purely to cheer others on. 🥰
And especially three fabulous ladies from our WE Inspire, Women Entrepreneurs of WEInspire family, who were all finalists! ❤️
👏 Chris Gaskell – MopTops Haircare
👏 Helen Wilson – Scentarama
👏 Leigh Davey – Pork Pies & The Perfect Pickle
We are SO incredibly proud of all three of you. You looked absolutely fabulous, and it was such a pleasure sharing the evening with you and celebrating everything you’ve achieved. 🥂
The room was filled with incredible small businesses, and I absolutely love nights like this. Behind every business is a story, the hard work, the risks, the long hours, the knockbacks and the determination to keep going.
One of the absolute highlights of the evening was hearing from Jack LeCras, who is just FOUR DAYS away from his 100th birthday… and is STILL the Treasurer of Lions! ❤️
What an incredible man. Sharp as a button, funny, inspirational and with an awesome sense of humour. I could have listened to him all night! At almost 100 years young, he certainly reminded us that age is just a number. 🥰
And I have to give a very special mention to the Overall Best Business Award winners — The Good Company & Co
I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room. ❤️
What they are doing to create real employment opportunities for people with disabilities is absolutely incredible, and they are such worthy winners.
If you haven’t heard of them, please go and check them out and see what they’re achieving. Businesses like this remind us that success isn’t always just about what you build, sometimes it’s about the lives you change along the way. ❤️
Congratulations to every single finalist and winner.
Small business can be one hell of a rollercoaster, so nights like this are a wonderful reminder to stop for a moment, celebrate how far we’ve come and cheer each other on.
And I have to say… The Glasses Mister scrubs up alright too. 😂🥂❤️
