SIX small businesses have won awards in a competition hosted by a Reading MP.
The Small Business Saturday Competition, organised by Matt Rodda, recognises the best small businesses across his Reading East constituency.
Participants from Reading East had the opportunity to nominate and vote for their favourite local business through an online poll across six categories.
The categories were restaurants and eateries, cafes and coffee shops, pubs and bars, goods and services, arts, crafts and entertainment and wellbeing and activities.
More than 800 people voted with 76 businesses nominated.
The winners were Mama’s Way, Madoo, The Lyndhurst, Nylon Hair Artists, Made by Tamalia and County Dance.
Mr Rodda announced the results on Saturday, December 3, and has visited some of the businesses to give them their awards.
Mr Rodda said: “I would like to offer the winners my heartfelt congratulations.
“I have already had the pleasure of visiting some of the businesses to congratulate them and present their certificates. I look forward to meeting the rest soon.
“Thank you to everyone who voted and helped me celebrate the many wonderful small businesses in our constituency.”
