Husband and wife team Simon and Friederike Slee have been named Best Hammersmith Business 2013 at the second annual Hammersmith and Fulham Brilliant Business Awards.
They were presented with the award by Hammersmith and Fulham Mayor, Cllr Frances Stainton at and event at Bush Hall, London. “We were absolutely thrilled to be recognised,” said Simon Slee. “Like all small business owners, Friederike and I have been through some tough times but we had the confidence to keep going because we believe in each other, employ brilliant people and are not afraid of hard work. The fact that we have seen tremendous growth in our business is testament to the strength and loyalty of our wonderful team without whom we wouldn’t have won this award.”
Organised by Hammersmith and Fulham Council, the awards saw over 2,300 votes cast by members of the public to nominate their favourite local enterprises.
Simon Slee added: “We’re really grateful to all those who voted for us. We were nominated for the Best Customer Service award last year so to win this time round with Best Business means a great deal to us. Since taking on Fastsigns two years ago, our aim has always been to think outside the box. From working on graphics for robots in Ikea adverts to fashioning Halloween and Christmas decorations at ZSL London Zoo - we’re not your average signage company.”
