I’m delighted to announce that Effortless Beauty won the Small Business of the Year award at the I Love Beeston Awards 2015!

Our nomination read: “This indulgent beauty treatment centre has gone from strength to strength despite the disruption caused by the recent tramworks in Beeston. Talented owner Lucy Jayne Palmer has won a string of accolades including a finalist nomination in the prestigious Professional Beauty Awards.”

Held on Thursday 23 April at the Walled Garden in Beeston Fields, the I Love Beeston Awards was a night for Beeston to show its pride in all that is good about the town.

Organised by the Nottingham Post and Beeston Bid, and hosted by BBC Radio Nottingham presenter Mark Dennison, there were an incredible 500-plus nominations for the 10 awards handed out on the night.

Thank you so much to everyone who nominated and voted for me. I look forward to thanking you personally.
