A Carlisle-based firm has been shortlisted for a prestigious national business award.

CreativeHutch, a brand, design, and marketing agency, was nominated for the Enterprise Vision Awards (EVAs) for their entrepreneurial leadership, rapidly growing business, and local contributions.

The EVAs are the largest UK business accolades dedicated solely to women.

CreativeHutch's co-owners, Vicky Hutchinson and Carol Wallace were nominated in the creative industry category, representing Cumbria alongside other British female-run firms.

Hutchinson and Wallace established the company in July 2021.

Hutchinson, co-founder and brand strategist, said: "We’re so excited to be shortlisted in the EVA awards again this year.

"Whether we are winners on the night or not we are just so proud to be finalists against some fabulous women and their incredible businesses."

Wallace, co-founder and marketing director, said: "Being nominated for the EVAs is a big honour for Vicky and I and our growing team.

"We’re really proud of our business’ achievements, and our commitment to supporting the local community and the next generation of creatives."

In the last year, CreativeHutch recorded several milestones, including doubling its workforce size.

Voting for the EVAs will close on August 9, with the winners announced during an award ceremony later this year.
