Founders Rik and Helen Cridland
Multi-award-winning small animal accessories brand HayPigs! is at it again – this time as one of three finalists in the Retail Business of the Year category at the Business Excellence Awards Essex.
The final, which will take place on Thursday (September 26) at Five Lakes, near Colchester, will be attended by the business people of Essex. The evening is being hosted by comedian Mark Dolan and actress, singer, model and presenter Denise van Outen.
“We’re really proud to have made it to the final in what was a super competitive application process,” said HayPigs! co-founder Rik Cridland. “We missed out on a final spot last year, so to have gone that extra step this year is recognition of the hard work we’ve put in over the last 12 months.”
The delighted HayPigs! team took to social media to announce the finalist spot after attending a champagne and canapé evening ahead of the main event: “Here we are at the pre-event, the piggies very much enjoyed hanging out in the Rolls Royce, they said the shag carpet was just like vet bed! Fingers and paws crossed for the final at the end of the month!” @haypigs
HayPigs! will be at PATS Telford where it will be unveiling two new products.
