Amazing people at awards – and to win 'was unexpected and humbling'

Eight winners were chosen at last year's Gosport Business Awards but chosen by the judges as the best of the best was Blitz Photography, run by husband and wife team Steve and George Reid.

With the October 17 closing date fast approaching, Steve said: "We know there are some amazing people running wonderful companies in Gosport, so winning the Gosport Business of the Year in 2024 was an unexpected and humbling experience."

Steve added that the journey to success began after spotting the awards advertised in The News and he and George thought they would give it a go: "After all, what's the worst that could happen?

"So being selected as a finalist in the creative and cultural category was a really big thrill for us."
