Meet some of our ICAs winners
Sticky Heelz Sticky Heelz Founder Laura Birrell had a very busy and exciting year in 2018 – and her success story looks certain to continue in 2019. “We were delighted to have won the
Innovation in Business Award at the Inspiring City Awards. We beat off some tough competition to win this award. It is great to think that our simple product that helps improve the fit and comfort of shoes could win such an accolade,” she said. Since winning the Inspiring City
Award, she went on to be honoured as Entrepreneur of the Year 2018 in the Scottish Women’s Awards in Glasgow. Her non-slip heels also featured in the Inside Soap Awards goodie bag, which was attended by some of the top television soap celebrities.
