Our team traveled to Glasgow in May for the FSB Celebrating Small Business Awards UK Finals 2022. As one of the Welsh regional winners, we represented Wales in the High Growth Business of the Year category. Although we didn’t bring home the trophy this time, we are still immensely proud to have made it to the UK finals.
The upcoming month of June is set to be an extremely busy month for Zeal, with several exhibition shows and association events including ChildCare Expo, The World Park & Leisure Home Show. We will also be preparing and submitting several more cases in readiness to reduce our client's July POA.
