The winners of the Muddy Awards 2018 gathered at <a href="http://www.rothamstedmanor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rothamsted Manor</a> in Harpenden to celebrate their success and to share the stories about what it&#8217;s really like to run a business in Hertfordshire. Thank you to everyone who nominated, voted and took part this year. Well done to the winners! And a big thank you to Katie Simmons for giving us the run of the wonderfully ornate and quirky <a href="http://www.rothamstedmanor.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rothamsted Manor</a>. It&#8217;s available to book for weddings, big birthdays and any other occasion where you might need a manor house. Thank you to the charming and gung-ho Chloe and James of <a href="http://www.nelsonandpops.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Nelson + Pops</a> who drove their prosecco van from Bishop&#8217;s Stortford and kept us all a-fizz and well hydrated. Thank you to my mum and my cousin Jacqueline for coming to help on the day. Thank you Olivia and Marc at <a href="https://www.trinderhair.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Trinder Hair Studios</a> &#8211; winners in 2017 &#8211; for doing my hair (it looked gorgeous before the rain). Thank you Tiffany Harding at <a href="http://odysseyspa.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Spa Odyssey</a> for the wonderfully generous Elemis goody bags. And the biggest thank you goes to <a href="https://www.rebeccafennellphotography.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Rebecca Fennell</a> for being great fun and for the fabulous photos. Thank you one and all and see you next year!
