Hide AdLee Chambers, psychologist and founder of Essentialise Workplace Wellbeing, said: “Joining so many outstanding companies at a glamourous venue was an occasion I’ll never forget.
"I went in with realistic expectations given the tough competition I was up against, so to win was even more special. When I went to collect the trophy, the compare Paul Crone said to me that my face was one of shock and disbelief!
"This award is not so much of a reward for us but more a way to celebrate of all those who've been willing to support a wellbeing company that does things differently, from our clients to our collaborators, and those who've provided support, guidance and encouragement on what has been a challenging journey since we launched 18 months ago.
"For me personally, it is a moment to consider the amazing welcome I’ve had from the Preston business community, the wider Lancashire business ecosystem and those who have backed me by opening doors, providing opportunities and given me their time and space.”
