The Outside ideas team is exhilarated after being shortlisted for four prestigious business awards by OxLEP, cementing its place as a dynamic force in Oxfordshire’s business community.
With nods for Business Leader of the Year, Innovator of the Year, Environmentally Sustainable Business of the Year, and Socially Responsible Business of the Year, this isn’t just a win for Outside ideas – it’s a win for every small business they support.
This exciting announcement follows a string of successes for the company, including the OxLEP Business Hero of the Year Award in 2023 and the Networker of the Year accolade at The Great British Expos in 2022.
For the last few years, Outside ideas has been on a steep growth journey, incorporating business for good policies while at the same time making room for innovations. They have grown their company from a one-man band to a team of 7 and supported thousands of entrepreneurs to navigate the UK business landscape and grow their businesses.
The company offers different forms of support to entrepreneurs, including networking, mastermind groups, and business coaching. They pride themselves in seeing an astonishing 99% success rate in helping their clients smash their business goals.
The Outside ideas team has often been described as approachable, caring, helpful, and passionate about helping businesses grow. It has given entrepreneurs across the UK the confidence to increase their turnover, expand their business, attract investment, hire more workforce, and implement sustainable business practices.
The founder, Peter Mols, said, “Outside Ideas isn’t just about supporting businesses. We’re building a community, pushing for sustainable growth, and helping entrepreneurs realise that they can achieve success and balance in their lives. These nominations are a testament to our commitment to doing things differently.”
Sarah Mols, who joined the company in 2021, adds, “Our success is positive proof of the power of our approach. We’re not just talking about change; we’re driving it.”
The big reveal will be at the OxLEP Business Marketplace and Celebration, set to take place in October this year, delivered with support from the Institute of Directors. This event will showcase the Oxfordshire SMEs that have been supported by OxLEP Business since April 2022 in both a Marketplace and an Awards evening.
OxLEP Business is the Growth Hub for Oxfordshire, simplifying the business support landscape and helping individuals and businesses to connect more easily.
The Outside ideas team is holding its breath for the next few weeks, excited to snag a few awards to add to their growing business.
