Best Sports Therapy & Recovery Clinic 2025 – Glasgow “Redefining Recovery for Scotland’s Athletes”
Corporate Vision Best Natural AntiInflammation Wellness Brand 2025 Growing up in Greece, the boy who would eventually become the visionary behind Zoefull – the leading wellness brand recognised with this award – saw his grandparents live healthy lives way into their hundreds, rarely having to visit the doctor. According to his grandma, the secret was the ‘Mediterranean Protocol”, meaning the natural ingredients they consumed daily which proved great for protecting them. Bottling these ingredients to offer the same protection for its customers, Zoefull is entirely unique. The companies CRO Stefanos Loizou was on hand to tell us more. No ingredients on the planet have been studied for longer – or promoted as many transformations in the fight against chronic disease – as those found along the Mediterranean. Be it polyphenols and wild olives or omega-3 and bitter herbs, these ingredients are not synthetic and they were not created in any lab. They have been sourced naturally and perfected over the centuries by some of the healthiest and longest-living people in the world. In today’s world, they are also needed more than ever before. Thus, the biggest health challenges faced by people today – including cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions, and joint decline – are not solved by quick fixes or synthetic pills. They can be tackled most effectively using the power of natural ingredients that both defend the body against chronic conditions and also aid in the overall protection of long-term health and wellbeing. This is reflected in everything that Zoefull stands for, right down even to its name, which is taken from the Greek word zoe, meaning ‘life’. And full of life is exactly what customers of this brand are, with the precise daily rituals they are provided thanks to the pure Greek ingredients behind these products causing measurable improvements in their health and wellbeing. This begins with the flagship Zoefull Wild Olive Oil High Phenolic Extra Virgin and spans its accompaniments – Super Polyphenols, Omega-3, Cardio Vital, Thriving Gut, and Resveratrol – which comprise this line and address drivers like inflammation, oxidative stress, and metabolic imbalance. “Pure Greek power for everyone, delivered by the spoon (a shot or a drizzle of our Wild Olive Oil) or by the capsule (Super Polyphenols, Omega-3, Cardio Vital, Probiotics, and Resveratrol).” Stefanos explained: “The result is real-world support for heart and metabolic health, gut resilience, skin clarity, cognitive performance, steady energy, and joint comfort – benefits you can feel and
Small Business Awards 2025 | 7 measure.” Given these enhancements, the brand’s customer base spans health-driven adults, athletes, and select practitioners throughout the US, highlighting a significant reach. Driving this is Zoefull’s pure Greek sourcing, lab-verified potency, and impactful formulas, leading to real outcomes – not just hype. These products have even been recommended by health professionals, including Dr Tina Konstantinou, who shared in a testimonial of the brand: “People suffer from chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration more than ever. These conditions build silently, years before symptoms appear. Decades of research show that Mediterranean ingredients offer unmatched protection – lowering risk and extending healthy years of life. That scientific foundation is why I stand behind Zoefull.” Diving deeper into this portfolio, which has been designed for real life, its success comes from the singular focus of Zoefull: turning polyphenols from wild, ancient trees into precise daily rituals. Of course, more than this, Zoefull has gone from strength to strength as a result of the trust it naturally commands at every turn, thank to it prioritising purity over noise, precision over guesswork, and transparency over propaganda. Given the majority of its competitors are mass-market olive oils (which are primarily refined, blends, or gathered through opaque sourcing), brands claiming to have ‘high phenolics’ but not having the lab results to back it up, or companies with supplements made from generic olive extracts and which offer marketing over molecules, there is really no competition at all for the brand. Its edge comes in the form of focus and proof, and it wins simply by delivering the most potent blend of these active ingredients available. Taking things a step further, Stefanos told us: “Our edge is phenolic potency verified, not marketed. Every batch is lab-verified, and our wild harvests deliver the purest, highest polyphenol levels on the market proof you can feel in that clean, peppery oleocanthal kick. That purity and potency sets us apart: with our single-origin sourcing, transparent labs, and clean labels seeing Mediterranean health made effortless, with real-life payoffs like steadier energy, calmer gut, clearer skin, easier joints, and faster recovery.” “Our mission is simple: turn the Mediterranean’s purest ingredients into targeted daily formulas that tackle the root drivers of today’s chronic burdens so people feel and perform better – every day.” The final piece of the puzzle for Zoefull’s success spans both its team and its culture, with this environment being one where people come first, egos are low, the best ideas win, and everyone owns the outcomes they get. “It’s fun, fast, and supportive”, Stefanos said, with everything from deep product onboarding to weekly learning sprints, open dashboards, and tight client feedback resulting in a service that is human and quick. It may be complex and fast paced, but the sky is the limit for these individuals here. With this in mind, the rest of 2025 is seeing Zoefull double down on what has made it successful so far, including tightening phenolic standards on its Wild Olive Oil and refining its Super Polyphenols for a cleaner, measurable impact. Moving into the new year, expanding its targeted daily rituals, deepening practitioner partnerships, and broadening product access are all in the pipeline, but the brand remains focused on keeping its batch pressing small, its labs transparent, and its support fast and human. Ultimately, by aiding its customers in fighting chronic disease at the root with these simple, powerful Mediterranean habits, Zoefull is inviting all to join the ‘Mediterranean Protocol”, which has been keeping the longest living people on earth happy and healthy for many years.

Small Business Awards 2025 | 9 The most important factor behind Pragma Communication’s success is its unique attention to the specifics of every client, project, and area of investigation it attends to. Clients seek it out for its willingness to dive into, adapt to, and convey the very essence of the science investigation or technology development at the heart of their projects. The company works with individual scientists, with project teams and international multi-partner consortia, as well as with research organisations and innovative enterprises. Based on its team’s three decades of experience in leading and managing research, Pragma Communication is able to open clients’ projects to diverse audiences – to fellow scientist and technologists, to innovators from related fields, to policy makers, funding bodies and investors, and to the public at large. What sets the company apart is its view that science communication is much more than showcasing outcomes. Beyond mere dissemination, science communication is seen as an opportunity to strengthen research and its chances to succeed. Supporting innovation creates two opportunities: to highlight its originality and to create bridges in order to facilitate synergies and uptake. Convention has placed a predominant emphasis on the former to the detriment of the latter. That is where much of the company’s work comes in. The support offered by Pragma Communication is directly derived from the objectives of the clients’ research, and the company’s approach is to work closely with every team and researcher to ground these objectives in explicit targets. Articulating and refining a project’s objectives for communication purposes often leads to the expansion of the strategies devised to achieve them, an added benefit to that of helping the project interface with the outside world. The intimate acquaintance with a project’s creativity, ambition and potential helps design and deploy communication means that are closely tuned in contents, format and spirit to the innovation and aligned to its goals. Mapping out a project’s uniqueness provides powerful means to identify and create additional support opportunities for its research effort. Since science communication requirements are diverse and vary from project to project, quality and excellence are achieved by enlisting a wide range of niche competences. The project and its context are the driving factors in setting up a support team that works in a dynamic, networked mode, with extended input from competent external collaborators. This ensures that client needs are matched with top skills and expertise. The framework appeals to the company’s specialised partners, as it offers them the opportunity to get involved in one-of-a-kind challenges. Overall, it is a win-win setup that allows Pragma Communications to be highly responsive to client and project demands and offers those with whom it collaborates a platform to showcase their skills and create opportunities for new projects. Over the last 2-3 years science communication has seen a new level of attention from funding bodies, research hosting institutions, and from potential beneficiaries of research outputs. It is increasingly seen not only as a vital amplifier of research Pragma Communication uses advanced communication and dissemination techniques to develop support, engagement, and collaboration for science and technology projects. In the context of the fragility of innovation, the company’s aim is to generate constructive input and participation, foster supportive interaction and develop presentation and dissemination strategies to aid the shaping and consolidation of new ideas. The ultimate objective is to use tailored forms of communication to attract interest, create traction, grow and develop a lasting presence and impact for scientific research and technology development. Best Research Dissemination Specialists 2025 - Europe dissemination but also as an instrument for leveraging associated activities into research support. Key amongst them are community and network development, feedback elicitation, idea channelling, education, opportunity identification, awareness building, business development and policy shaping. The recognition of this potential is reflected in the new approach of allocating resources for science communication in addition to research funding as opposed to only as part of it. It is a trend that promises significant growth opportunities for Pragma Communication, as it allows the enlargement of the scope of the services it offers, especially when it comes to developing research sustainability, visibility and impact beyond the initial funding period. The increasing awareness of the science and technology community of the potential that communication can bring to core research activities beyond just publicising outputs is at the core of the company’s strategy for the future. This potential rests on a dedicated cooperation with clients where establishing a quality relationship is essential. It is a challenge in a landscape where new technologies promise easy substitutes for the services offered by Pragma Communication. The company continuously increases the sophistication of its own offerings in a fair and ethical way by keeping the pace with these technologies to increase their benefit for both scientists and their research.

Corporate Vision TransmissionCo was founded with a clear and strategic mission: to deliver high-capacity, wholesale Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) transmission services across the African continent. With the sole focus of providing robust, scalable, and reliable optimal transmission infrastructure, the company operates primarily within markets where digital transformation and datadriven economies are rapidly advancing – such as East Africa, West Africa, and Southern Africa – expertly tailoring its solutions to meet the region’s growing demand for bandwidth and connectivity. Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing is an advanced optical transmission technology that allows multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously over a single optical fibre. The technology works by modulating multiple data channels into optical signals of different frequencies, which are then multiplexed into a single stream of light that is transmitted over a fibre optic cable. At the receiving end, a demultiplexer separates the combined signals back into their original data streams. This process allows for efficient use of the fibre’s capacity, enabling the transmission of large amounts of data over long distances. As a leading provider of DWDM telecommunications solutions, HardwareCo, a sister company to TransmissionCo, helps businesses to design, build, implement, and operate their own DWDM network of any size, anywhere in Africa. The company seamlessly integrates its solutions with the client’s existing infrastructure, offering them a smooth transition to advanced DWDM telecommunications solutions. These networks are tailormade, featuring the latest 100G and 400G Ethernet technologies to empower businesses with the highest performance, lowest costs, and the most flexible network platform for their business needs. What’s more, TransmissionCo’s scalable infrastructure solutions allow businesses to expand their operations with confidence whilst maintaining top-tier levels of reliability and performance. These unrivalled benefits are complemented by exceptional customer service; TransmissionCo boasts a dedicated support team working tirelessly to deliver personalised assistance and technical guidance, optimising the customer experience and ensuring that all telecommunications needs are met with the highest standards of efficiency and expertise. In a crowded market, TransmissionCo distinguishes itself with an unwavering focus on quality and client service. The company stands as the first and only operator in Africa to offer 800G services on its metro network, in addition to the 10G, 100G, and 400G services already provided in its markets. The introduction of 800G opens up new possibilities in the market, facilitating aggregation of 100G and 400G services into a single 800G pluggable and enabling clients to achieve state-of-the-art capabilities at extremely affordable prices. Africa is home to the world’s fastest growing online population, with millions of new users entering the online space each year due to improved mobile network coverage and accessibility. This surge is driving unprecedented demand for fast, reliable connectivity, and one company sits at the very forefront of this rapid advancement. Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, TransmissionCo is a leading DWDM optical transmission company renowned for delivering high-capacity terrestrial wholesale bandwidth to clients across Africa. We took a closer look at the company below, following its recent recognition in the Small Business Awards 2025. Best Emerging DWDM Technology Optical Services Provider 2025 – Africa Furthermore, TransmissionCo is the only telecommunications company in Africa to offer a single product. Where other companies occupying the space integrate additional higher-layer services – such as IP/MPLS, cybersecurity, e.t.c. – into their solutions, TransmissionCo will not provide any other services apart from optical DWDM transmission. Whilst some may find this limiting, this does in fact provide the company with an unrivalled advantage; while many competitors struggle to split their time and focus between numerous offerings, TransmissionCo streamlines its energy and expertise into developing and delivering one core product. From trailblazing DWDM telecommunications services across Africa to upholding the highest standards of quality and client service, TransmissionCo stands out as a significant player in the telecommunications landscape. Since its inception, the company has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to empowering businesses across the continent with robust, scalable, and reliable optimal transmission infrastructure.

Corporate Vision Best Fashion Education & Awareness Campaign 2025 – Australia Dazzle Image Consulting was created by Sue Maree, an award-winning educator, consultant, speaker, and all-round fashion sustainability expert. A former Fashion Designer, turning her interest instead to a Personal Stylist and Image Consultant leveraging her skills to provide services relating to these areas to a diverse clientele from across Australia. However, more recently, her work has taken the form of a focus on the fashion industry as a circular economy advocate. On the back of her recognition in this programme, we caught up with Sue for more on her work in fashion education and transforming wardrobes. Initially founded as a way for Sue to share her expertise as a Fashion Stylist with the skills of a Fashion Designer, Dazzle Image Consulting was an outlet for her passion for creative projects that she fostered from a young age, and which have continued to guide her career from the beginning through to today. Yet, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, Sue pivoted slightly and began some pioneering work educating people on sustainability in fashion and the tremendous impact that this industry has on the environment. Serving as a member of the Board for the Australian Chapter of Association of Image Consulting International, Sue received a Global Philanthropy Award for her work in fashion education, quickly leading to a two-year stint as a member of the Global Sustainability Committee. This kind of work has remained Sue’s focus in the years since the pandemic waned, and she is proud to today collaborate with the likes of the local government and fashion festivals to create programmes and experiences around the topic. Examples include raising awareness through workshops, panel talks, exhibitions, and attending global conferences, all of which Sue has been widening the scope of her work and also providing her with new perspectives on the evolving channels leading the industry to become a global circular economy. Following on from this, Sue explained: “I am now the Global Chair of the AICI Global Sustainability Committee, where I lead a team to create positive awareness programmes worldwide”, reflecting her impact in this space. Aided by changing industry legislation spurred on by the European Union, Sue’s goal is to collaborate and create motivational solutions for consumers as they take their wardrobes through the shifts happening in the world of fashion. Her value statement – providing a rewarding, meaningful experience, in a supportive environment, by taking small steps that lead to a lasting impact that is both inclusive and accessible – is a further reflection of this, as is her mission of creating fashion education programmes that inspire change. “Clothing is emotional and part of our identity, so my work is always delivered with diplomacy and empathy.” As touched on a couple of times already, collaboration is an inherent part of the fashion education delivered by this fashion circular economy consultant, especially in the cases of the local government and fashion festival clients mentioned above. This is because these entities present their ideas, goals, and themes, before Sue creates a presentation with a choice of options on how she could deliver these in an event linked to their aims. Once the decision is made, Sue not only runs the event but also plans every element of it. Through these initiatives, Sue and her clients are playing their part reinventing the fashion industry across Australia and beyond. She explained this further: “Governments are forcing changes to the way we make, sell, and recycle our clothing. I am educating about the new ways we will buy, use, and discard clothing.” Sue continued: “My work is helping the consumer understand why the changes are taking place and offering steps to transform their wardrobes to adhere to the principals of a fashion circular economy.” Since Sue is a solopreneur, the collaborations she nurtures with like-minded people and organisations are crucial to her success, and this is why meeting people aligned with her vision is something she plans to continue to do as move into 2026 and beyond. Beyond this, Sue shared: “I have just written a book about my work, in which I have identified the ten key changes in the fashion industry, why they have happened, and why it matters, as well as how to transform our wardrobes to transition to a circular economy model.” Lastly, her role as Global Chair of AICI will take her to some international conferences to share knowledge to inspire change.

Small Business Awards 2025 | 13 Based in the South East of England and working across the whole of the UK, STax is a commercial property tax advisor specialising in capital allowances, including structures and building allowance and land remediation relief. The firm is driven by a team of specialist tax advisors, chartered accountants, tax surveyors, and frontline staff, and caters to a diverse clientele comprising individuals and businesses that own, are purchasing, or refurbishing commercial property. This could be anything from a small office complex to a restaurant, hotel, care home, showroom, or medical or veterinary practice. When undertaking a new project, STax will analyse all the components that make up a commercial property and value each item individually to assess what is available for capital allowances. This is a complex area of tax, with years of legislation and amendments to contend with, and it is the team’s role to know what can and cannot be claimed, in addition to the value of each item at the time the property was purchased. This helps clients to make the most of the hidden potential within their commercial property, ensuring that what is often their most valuable asset truly works for them. “Our clients may be purchasing a commercial property with plans to refurbish it. A claim to access the allowances already built into the property could release funds to support the refurbishment,” John explained. “Others may have recently refurbished a leased property, such as a restaurant, before opening. A capital allowance claim can provide valuable tax relief, freeing up funds to reinvest in the business. Whoever the client, our goal is always the same: to leave no stone unturned.” The first step in the process is to carry out a detailed desktop review. This involves examining the property’s history, ownership, and expenditure to identify any potential areas for a claim. Once an initial understanding has been gained, STax’s team of tax and property specialists conduct in-depth research to confirm eligibility and assess the value of the potential claim. From there, STax arranges a comprehensive on-site survey, which allows the team to identify all qualifying items and gather accurate evidence to support the claim. Combining this with its research, STax can then prepare a clear, fully compliant report that can be submitted to HMRC. Throughout the process, the team maintains close communication with the client to ensure they understand each stage and have complete confidence in the final outcome. This structured approach helps STax deliver accurate, well-supported claims complemented by a smooth experience from start to finish. The firm upholds high standards across its operations, demonstrating its commitment to tax transparency by publishing a tax policy that explicitly rejects tax avoidance and ensuring it pays the right amount of corporation tax in the right place at the right time. Such high standards are maintained by the STax team, who brings 120 years of collective experience in the property tax sector to the table. The company cultivates a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and expertise, with regular internal workshops, mentoring, and case reviews to strengthen technical knowledge and promote confidence in dealing with complex claims.
