Laura Wilson from CLM named Businessperson of the Year at Rutland and Stamford Mercury Business Awards 2021

Huge congratulations to CLM Director, Laura Wilson, who on Friday, was awarded Businessperson of the Year at the Mercury Business Awards 2021!

The CLM team had a wonderful time celebrating with Laura and championing all the winners and finalists who highlight the talent and innovation of our region.

Accepting the award from Chris Needham, landlord of the Danish Invader pub in Stamford, Laura said: “This award might have my name on it but I would not be standing here without our incredible team who are fully supportive of our company goals and values.

“A massive thank you should also go out to my fellow director and husband, Hamish Wilson; he stands beside me through everything and I could not do this without him.”

Speaking later in the evening, she added: “I’m still shocked and overwhelmed at receiving the award.”

Laura said one of the priorities of CLM has been to create a strong team that does not cut corners to achieve the right results.

“The business is running its successful apprentice scheme for a second time, and is at an interesting point of growth.

“We’re focusing on the environment a great deal, with the installation of technology such as electric vehicle charging points at some of the sites we are involved with,” she said.

Runners up for the Businessperson of the Year were Anna Morrish of Quibble Content, a digital marketing agency based in Uppingham, and Leisa MacKenzie from Bluebird Care Stamford and Rutland.
