She also won a Silver Award in Best Coach in the competition, which seeks to find the very best female business talent from across the UK and Internationally.
Speaking of her award wins, Trusha said: “I was shocked beyond belief when I heard my name read out. There were so many incredible businesses and business women in that room and to hear that my business has won Best Customer Service, well, it really does mean the world to me. To then win a silver award for Best Coach – I thought I was dreaming! These awards are a celebration of all the hard work my team and I have put into not only running and growing our business but in ensuring our clients have been supported and grown too both personally and professionally. I’m delighted and having stopped smiling yet!”
Judges commented on Trusha’s award nominations in Best Customer Service saying: “Trusha’s submission has shown that her business is centred around providing excellent customer service which has allowed it to have become as successful as it is. Excellent customer service has been embedded into every aspect of her business, from onboarding to end of session procedures, allowing her to personalise her approach to her customers which ultimately gets them results”
