Plain business shines at awards ceremony

The awards, held over two days on June 19 and 20, are hosted annually by the Hollywood Foundation to honour local entrepreneurs' contributions to job creation, economic growth, and transforming communities in the province.

This year's awards programme included an exhibition and seminar where qualifying small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs) showcased their businesses and pitched for funding.

Laura Spannenberg, founder of What the Fudge, said the exhibition and seminar presented an opportunity to take her business to the next level.

"We had a riveting masterclass on how to pitch by serial entrepreneur and business specialist Dr Thabo Pitse.

"We hung onto his every word as he shared strategies to secure funding.
