Owner of the boutique, and mum of three, Diana McMann says, "I'm still on cloud nine! It has been the most challenging 18 months as a small business, going through times of not knowing if we'd have a business at the end of it, to having one of our most successful years yet! I'm so proud of how we have adapted and turned these challenging times into opportunities. I'm thrilled that my team have been recognised for their continued dedication to our brides and for giving them the most amazing bridal experience. We couldn't do any of this without our brides and we are so grateful of their support too. It's an honour to be a part of their special day and it's so heart warming to see wedding days now going ahead and the wedding industry getting back on it's feet. I can't wait for an exciting year ahead, which will see us open an additional fitting room, allowing us to help even more brides on their bridal journey."

The boutique now goes on to compete in the National Finals, held in London on 23rd January, where they will be up against the top seven boutiques in the country.

The Little Pearl really has put the Yorkshire region on the map for customer service excellence within the bridal industry and beyond. They have brides visiting from all over the country, as well as abroad, wanting to be one of their #PearlsGirls! With three prestigious award wins now under their belt, and five other award nominations, it's a testament to any small business owner that with passion and dedication, you really can achieve your business dreams.
