A Swindon firm has been named Best Start Up of the Year at the TBE Awards, just two years after it was launched.

Founder Rob Curtis and his team at Pursuit Agency were presented with the award at an event held at Cumberwell Park, in Bradford on Avon, on October 17.

He said: "We are so thrilled to receive this award and it’s wonderful to know that a panel of judges have looked in forensic detail at my company and deemed it worthy of such an award.

"Given the calibre of our fellow nominees, we’re very privileged to be deemed worthy of this win."

The TBE Awards celebrate innovation and entrepreneurship across Bath and North East Somerset, and Swindon and Wiltshire, and received more than 130 entries across 14 categories.

The new awards are designed to build on the legacy of the Techies awards, which ran for six years, celebrating excellence within the region’s business community.

The entries were judged by a panel of business owners including Kate Westbrook, partner and head of commercial at Thrings, Paddy Bradley, director at No 11 Consultants, and Michelle Pow, business development manager at School of Management, University of Bath.
