FSB Surrey Business Awards
|
Huge contratulations to Nicola McDonald from local business Attractive Marketing who won Networking Group of the year at the FSB Business Awards.
The idea of the Cow Parade is that individuals, companies and schools will sponsor a life-size fibreglass cow and either decorate it themselves, or bring in an artist to do it. The cows will then be displayed around Surrey before being herded to the inaugural Surrey Hills Food, Drink and Music Festival next summer where they will be auctioned off for charity. Those judged to be extra special will be auctioned at a glittering ceremony held at a unique London location later in the year.
