Wow, not only was Suki Tea short listed for the 'Go For It' awards last night we actually won! We we're told about a week ago that we we're one of the Belfast Top 50 companies 2008. Of those 50 a handful of 5 companies received a special recognition award - Suki was one of those 5. Fifty businesses which fly the flag for the new Belfast we're honoured in a special Stormont celebration last night, The event was organised by the Belfast Media Group in association with BT. The Belfast Business Top 50 will paid tribute to entrepreneurs and business leaders who are role models within their communities, creating wealth and jobs in challenging economic times.” The fourth annual Belfast Business Top 50 will not only acknowledge the contribution of our business titans but also those small business champions who are making a difference in underserved areas of Belfast and whose innovation and grit is worthy of recognition,” said Máirtín Ó Muilleoir, MD of Belfast Media Group.

When the announcement was made I eventually managed to compose myself and get to the mic to let the crowd know how happy I was to accept the award on behalf of the company. So . . . thanks to the fantastic team of dedicated tea lovers working for Suki Tea, thanks to Invest Northern Ireland for their support. I had really wished my business partner, Annie was there to make a speech as she has a great way with words but as she's just about to give birth it was probably a bit inconvenient. It was only a couple of weeks ago I was heading to London to collect our guild of Fine Foods Great Taste Regional reserve award. We had better stop winning awards and start selling some tea!
