Shortlisted for the very first Chesterfield Business Awards!
We are over the moon to share that CRUSH has been shortlisted as Best Enterprising Business at this year’s Chesterfield Business Awards.
As a brand new awards programme for the Chesterfield region, we feel especially excited for this recognition that will surely see a much-deserved celebration for all of our town’s many fantastic businesses and entrepreneurs.
‘Celebrating Excellence in Local Business’
Chesterfield Business Awards is a new, independent initiative that’s been launched to give equal opportunity for businesses of all sizes across Chesterfield to share their successes and celebrate their recent wins.
Launched for the very first time this year by Awards Writer, Lucinda Birtles and Creative Director, Chrissie Rowell, the awards feature several categories in which to shine a light on the entrepreneurs, teams, organisations and hard work that keep our local economy thriving.
The awards will also raise funds for the much-loved Chesterfield Animal Rescue charity, which holds a special place in the heart of our town and will truly benefit from the donations.
Finalist: Best Enterprising Business 2026
Within the awards, CRUSH has been shortlisted as Best Enterprising Business (11+ employees), which recognises businesses that proactively pursue new opportunities, introduce innovation, invest in growth and lead confidently within their markets.
As a branding and design agency that’s been supporting start-ups, established enterprises and non-profits for over two decades (we just celebrated our 23rd birthday in May!), CRUSH proves that smaller agencies can compete at the highest level, specialising in sectors most agencies avoid, with great success and longevity.
For us, this award, even as a finalist, is a testament to that belief.

Reflecting on the shortlist announcements, our Founder, Natalie commented:
“Moments like this always make me reflect on everything we’ve built over the years, and at the core, the team I’m always proud of – their talent, their care, and the way they show up for our clients and each other, every single day. This shortlisting is theirs as much as it is the agency’s – well done team!”
For now, we’d just like to say a huge thank you to the organisers and judges of the awards, and a congratulations to all the fellow businesses shortlisted. We look forward to the ceremony in July!
