Munchy Play has been recognised with an 'Innovation Award' in the first ever Phoenix Enterprise Awards.

Eleven small businesses in Richmond Borough have been recognised for their creativity and dedication in the first-ever Phoenix Enterprise Awards.

The Phoenix Enterprise is sponsored by Richmond Council and run by CPG Executive Consulting, to help local businesses to develop and grow. This year alone, it has supported nearly 85 businesses through mentorship and community support.

The Small Business Awards 2021 recognise the hard work and endurance of the start-up community in the borough

Sophia, founder of Munchy Play, said: "If lockdown taught us anything, it's the importance of community. Which is why we're so incredibly touched to be recognised by our local London borough.

"The mentorship we've received from Helen and the programme, has been so valuable in our journey. Winning the Award for Innovation tonight is the perfect way to round off a fantastic year! It's always wonderful when our kids' plates are recognised for their originality, as well as being a leading toddler gift."
