A SKIPTON business is appealing for the public’s support as the town’s sole representative in the prestigious Yorkshire Choice Awards 2022.

North Blinds has been nominated in the highly competitive Customer Service of the Year Award category, which is decided by a public vote. It faces tough competition from firms in Leeds, Sheffield, Halifax, Scarborough, Bradford and York.

Owner of the blind fitting company, Lucas Kadzior said: “We’re really pleased to have been nominated in the customer service category as it genuinely is at the heart of everything we do - and I think the consistently positive reviews we receive reflect that.

“For me, business has always been about putting the customer first and ensuring they’re happy with the service they receive. Businesses live and die by their reputation, so we always make sure we do a professional job and give service that we’d be happy to receive ourselves.

Lucas added: “It is a tough category, particularly as the other nominees are from much larger areas, so we hope that the people in the Skipton area can get behind us.”

North Blinds was founded in 2018, and works within a 20 mile radius of Skipton.

The Yorkshire Choice Awards are designed to recognise the many fantastic independent businesses and individuals across the whole of Yorkshire.

It also supports MND Association, a charity focused on improving access to care, research and campaigning for people affected by motor neurone disease.
