Meet The Finalists
Fleurs by Marie
Fleurs by Marie began in 2019 from a simple love of flowers and creativity. What started as a small idea has blossomed into a home based business, where dried and preserved florals are brought to life. Each product handcrafted into elegant home décor, personalised bridal bouquets, and unique floral pieces.
Every creation is made with care and attention, designed to bring joy and make special moments last.
Our vision reaches far beyond our space. We continue to dream big, creating luxury home pieces, wedding florals, and experiences that bring beauty to everyday life and unforgettable occasions for years to come.
Tail Trends
Hi, I’m Jade, founder of Tail Trends. I’m passionate about providing the finest raw and natural food and treats for dogs, as I am a true dog lover. With firsthand experience caring for dogs with allergies, I dedicated myself to creating high-quality, nutritious options tailored to their needs. My certification in raw feeding and dog nutrition ensures every meal is balanced and beneficial. I take pride in sourcing only the best ingredients from local suppliers, supporting our community while maintaining the highest standards. As a one-person business, my commitment is unwavering—every dog deserves the best, and I’m here to provide it.

More than just a place to eat or create something, it’s a warm, welcoming environment where people of all ages can connect, recharge, and take time for themselves.

Personalised by Emily
What started as a passion for handmade gifts has, over the past four years, grown into Personalised by Emily, a small business built with love from my home workspace, proudly serving Dewsbury and the surrounding communities. My business has two sides: a quick, practical service for locals and businesses, offering printing, embroidery, and sewing alterations and a creative side, specialising in personalised gifts and keepsakes for every occasion. From memory bears and ashes jewellery to seasonal treasures, wedding favours, and bespoke cards, everything I make is crafted with care and attention to detail.
I’m proud to offer a warm, understanding service, always ready to listen, share a smile, and bring special ideas to life. Winning this shop space would turn my dream into reality: a welcoming, creative studio where everyone feels at home and can find something truly personal, made with love.
