Last Thursday saw web specialists Storm Consultancy and Somerset Design Enterprise Network members pick up the award for Best New Business at the 2011 Bath Life Awards. The young team saw off stiff competition from a range of other local marketing, retail and professional service companies, with the judging panel describing Storm as “A bright, young, dynamic team who have clearly made their mark on Bath in a short time.”

On the company website, co-founder Dave Kelly said, “The whole team are thrilled to have won the Best New Business award – we’ve come a long way in a very short time. I think it’s a heads up that we’re worth keeping an eye on and that as a team, we’ve got huge potential.”

The company of 6, whose average age is just 25 have a unique blend of design, development and business consultancy skills. Their work has proven so popular that they are already taking on projects for Summer 2011.
