Denise O’Leary MBE Co-Hosts the South West Business and Community Awards 2025 – Celebrating Innovation and Leadership
Denise O’Leary MBE was thrilled to be a co-host for the prestigious South West Business and Community Awards on March 12, 2025. The event, held at The Doubletree by Hilton in Swindon, brought together business leaders, entrepreneurs, and community champions to celebrate outstanding achievements across various industries.
The South West Business and Community Awards recognise and reward businesses, charities, and individuals who have made significant impacts on their communities through innovation, leadership, and dedication. This year’s ceremony highlighted the exceptional talent and perseverance that define the South West region, shining a spotlight on those who have gone above and beyond to create positive change.
As co-host along with Jackie Chappell, Denise engaged with attendees, underscoring the significance of the awards and celebrating the inspiring success stories of the night. Her role in supporting Great British Expos, alongside Alec Jones-Hall, Jule Edensor and Allison Dodd, reflected a shared commitment to business excellence, mentoring future leaders, and fostering growth within local communities.
The motivational speech by Jonny Huntington, first disabled person to ski to the south pole, on his own and completely unsupported had the room captivated.
The event was filled with excitement, from the anticipation of award announcements to the inspiring speeches delivered by winners. Among the honourees were businesses that demonstrated exceptional resilience, innovation, and community engagement, as well as individuals whose dedication had made a lasting impact. The categories spanned multiple sectors, ensuring a wide range of achievements were recognised and celebrated.
Purpol Marketing’s participation in the awards reinforces the power of recognition to inspire and motivate future success. Purpol were honoured recipients of the ‘Best Business’ Awards in 2018.
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners celebrated at the South West Business and Community Awards. Your contributions to business and community development are truly commendable, and we look forward to seeing how you continue to make a difference.
A huge thank you to the organisers of the event for putting together such a memorable evening. It was an amazing time to share in the success of so many remarkable individuals and organisations.
