From borrowed car to national recognition: a Wigan firm is shortlisted for a UK business award
Wigan pet care professional Zoe McDermott has made it through to the finals of the The UK Small Business Awards.
A Wigan pet care professional has been named a finalist at this year’s prestigious UK Small Business Awards.
Pet Care With Zo, run by Zoe McDermott in Ashton-in-Makerfield, has been shortlisted for Best Small Business in this competition celebrating the country’s firms that punch above their weight.
This honour celebrates commitment to the firm’s delivering high-quality dog walking and pet sitting services and making a positive impact within the industry.
A spokesperson for The UK Small Business Awards said: “The standard of entries this year has been incredibly high. Each finalist has demonstrated an exceptional level of talent and dedication, representing the very best of UK small businesses.”
As a finalist, Pet Care With Zo stands among the most accomplished individuals in the pet service industry, recognised for outstanding performance and impact.
"I am incredibly honoured and thrilled to be recognised as a finalist at The UK Small Business Awards" said Zoe, who found out the good news when a certificate appeared in her email inbox.
“When I started Pet Care With Zo in 2023, I had a borrowed car, a passion for animals, and a dream of creating a pet care business built on trust, compassion, and genuine care.
“To now be recognised as a finalist in a national award is something I never imagined”
The UK Small Business Awards will take place on December 19 at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, where finalists from across the UK will come together as the National Top 10 are revealed live on stage and live-streamed worldwide for those who cannot attend.
