Vehicle Save presents Federation of Small Businesses Devon Awards 2008 for Service Excellence to Inside Out

The Devon Region of The Federation of Small Businesses held their FSB Devon Business Awards 2008 on the 6th June at a glittering gala evening in Torquay.

Vehicle Save agreed to sponsor the service excellence award category and our Managing Director, Jim Howard was on hand on the night to present the award to the winner, Inside Out, a small chain of lifestyle shops in The South West.

Our view at Vehicle Save is that we should support good local initiatives and give something back to the local businesses who support us. The service excellence award is particularly relevant for us as it forms the basis of our own business ethos.

The awards, which attracted well over a hundred South West small business applicants were deeemed a great success by all, and it is very likely they wll be repeated for 2009 and become an annual fixture for local businesses.

Jim Howard said "All of the judges were impressed with the overall standard of applicants this year. This bodes well for the future of small business in The South West. Having set up my own business in Exeter some 15 years ago, I am a great advocate of trading locally and the new local business talent coming through should give us all some comfort that local business is thriving in our region and should continue to do so in the future."
