Business Evolution wins Business Coaching award
The first ever Growth Enabler Professional Excellence Award for Business Coaching was presented at the High Growth East Midlands Awards ceremony at Leicester's Walkers Stadium, in recognition of Business Evolution's top quality coaching work with businesses in the East Midlands. The company which Business Evolution was coaching, Asiana Ltd (www.asianaltd.com), importer and distributor of oriental foods based in Nottingham, was itself short-listed for the High Growth Company Award.
The evening was hosted by Angela Rippon OBE and featured a keynote speech by Sir Ranulph Fiennes BT OBE to honour the programme's top achievers. East Midlands Development Agency hosted the event to celebrate the achievements of the high growth and potential high growth companies participating in its flagship business support programme, High Growth East Midlands (www.hgeastmidlands.com). 250 representatives from the businesses participating in the HighGrowth East Midlands programme from across the East Midlands gathered at the black-tie event to celebrate and recognise the efforts of fellow members.
Sarah Coleman from Business Evolution commented "I really appreciate the recognition and many compliments received with this award. It demonstrates that with the right strategy companies can still prosper in these difficult trading conditions. In challenging times, businesses need to up their game even more than usual. It also gives me renewed confidence that the Business Evolution is providing the right help to businesses in the right way."
Sarah established Business Evolution in June 2007 to help businesses to realise their aspirations so that they can grow and succeed in the way they want to. The company specialises in business strategy formulation and execution, and in change management since Sarah recognised early on that most organizations don't have a choice as to whether they transform. They do, however, have a great deal of choice when it comes to structuring and managing the way strategy is delivered in order to improve the likelihood of achieving their desired results.
Business Evolution has expertise in programmes which target business solutions and benefit through information technology, outsourcing process, change management and cost transformation. The company works across public and private industry sectors across the UK and is based outside Newark, Nottinghamshire.
Sarah is an East Midlands Business Champion and a Women's Ambassador and, as such, she has supported social enterprises, sports clubs and schools. She is also a guest lecturer at Cranfield School of Management and at Nottingham Law School on Change Management on their MBA courses.
HighGrowth East Midlands was launched in January of 2008, and more than 70 companies are currently participating in the scheme. The scheme's two programmes, Growth Readiness and High Growth, are both designed to increase profits, enhance competitiveness and create the conditions for long-term success. The awards paid tribute to all the companies who had taken part in the first year of the scheme.
