Bouf.com has won a top 10 place in the Fashion and Retail category of Couvoisier’s Future 500 - a new online network developed to identify and support UK innovation and talent.

Aaaaaand relax. Yep today we beat off some stiff competition to win the London heats. I was proud to collect the Shell liveWIRE Entrepeneur of the Year award for London and a £3000 prize for Bouf. But I didn’t do it alone. We showcased a selection of products available at Bouf, including Vitamin’s Urban Gnome, Hulger’s P*Phone, Zoe Stanton’s Fairshare Champagne Fountain and Charlie Davidson’s Wheeler Stools. Thank you all for your support, and thanks to Shell liveWIRE for acknowledging us as a promising young company.

After an incredible week, I arrived back from Milan today, to learn that I’d won the Shell liveWIRE Entrepeneur of the Year award for our local area (Lambeth and Southwark). This is great news, and means I’m up against all the local area winners in London next month in the finals. Watch this space.
