    Glawning, which sells awnings and accessories for campervans, picked up the award last night at an event in Glasgow attended by Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.

    Harrogate business Glawning Ltd has been named microbusiness of the year at the Federation of Small Businesses awards.  

    Glawning, which sells awnings and accessories for campervans, was set up in 2013 by husband and wife James and Sarah Martin.

    Since then, the company has flourished, and last year turned over more than £500,000.

    The annual awards, which celebrate the best of small business and entrepreneurship, attracted more than 3,000 entries from the UK.  

    Glawning won the Yorkshire award before defeating 12 other regional finalists at yesterday's event in Glasgow, which was hosted by TV presenters Clare Balding and JJ Chalmers.

    Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon was also there to address the nominees.

    Ms Martin said:  

    “We set up our business after identifying a gap in the market and this award is very much a testament to all the work we have put into creating and launching a product that we ourselves need and use.” 


    The company now plans to launch in Europe and the USA this year.

    Martin McTague, FSB national chair said:  

    “This is an example of a small business that recognised an opening for a new product and worked hard to create something that has been a success amongst the campervan community.
    "I wish them success as they continue to innovate and create new products and take on the international markets.”
