The team of self-employed business people behind The Cotswold Challenge is celebrating being shortlisted in not just one, not just two, but three categories of the South West Business Awards. Allison Murray, who runs a brand and identity business, Allison Murray Design, said: “We are thrilled to have our important initiative recognised. “When we started this challenge for young students last year during the first lockdown, none of us expected it to be so successful. “We were overwhelmed at the time to receive over 500 entries.” Nigel Chute of Chute Design agreed and said: “The Cotswold Challenge was set up to help students that were going to miss out on their GCSEs and A-Levels and we were so fortunate to be supported by many generous sponsors, expert celebrity judges and even had a letter from the Secretary of State for Education.
