MEMBER NEWS Gravity wins at Rural Awards
Derbyshire-based Gravity Digital was a winner at last month’s Rural Business Awards – the UK’s only dedicated national business awards for the rural community. Gravity Digital, a digital
marketing agency with offices in Derby and Bakewell, was the outright winner in its category for Best Creative Business. Gravity Digital was launched in
October 2015 and united two successful existing Derby companies to provide digital marketing to businesses throughout the UK. Debbie Porter, Director of
Gravity Digital, said: “It’s amazing, we really didn’t expect to do so well. To be considered the UK’s Best Rural Creative Media Agency is quite something and this will certainly help boost our business.” Fellow Gravity Director Sharon
Stevens-Cash said: “We’re absolutely delighted. This award recognises the hard work that all the team have put in and also a
big thanks to our clients, without them we wouldn’t be here.” Awards co-founder Anna Price
said: “Gravity Digital was, we felt, quite simply a very professional and well established creative business with strong rural roots. We were very impressed with its down-to-earth approach, 100% client retention rate, and structured and proactive
programme of community and charity-based initiatives benefiting the local area. Well done Gravity - a clear winner in this category.” Now in its second year, the
Rural Business Awards has been praised by MPs including Nicky Morgan and Andrew Bridgen, both of whom have lent their support to the initiative.

The On Event Production team receives its award in London
Prestigious win for On Event Production
Midlands live events company, On Event Production, is celebrating after scooping one of the most prestigious industry accolades. The Castle Donington-based
company won the Production Award at the Event Awards, which took place at London’s iconic Hammersmith Eventim Apollo. The Event Awards celebrate the
very best in brand experiences and honours the suppliers that aid the delivery of excellence. It has become one of the most highly sought after accolades in the industry, with more than 300 entries this year from agencies, brands and partners. The company had to
demonstrate that it goes above and beyond the call of duty to improve live events through its own services and has been instrumental in the rig and de-rig of stages. The award follows a busy 12
months for On, during which it has relocated to a new, purpose-built premise in Castle Donington and expanded its operation. Managing Director Guy Eaton
said: “To be shortlisted in the production category at the Event Awards was a massive achievement in itself, but to win the award has blown us all away and we’re absolutely ecstatic.”
