Winners revealed for the SoGlos Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards 2020

Last night’s virtual SoGlos Gloucestershire Lifestyle Awards ceremony was an uplifting and enjoyable evening, recognising the great and the good of Gloucestershire’s lifestyle businesses and leading individuals.

With over 30,000 votes cast this year, SoGlos brought the glitz and glamour to viewers’ homes in an exciting virtual awards ceremony. (If you missed the evening’s live reveal, you can watch on catch-up via Facebook Watch).

Willans were delighted to be headline sponsor of this year’s event, and it’s come at a time when it’s never been more important to give recognition and support to the attractions, entertainment venues, eateries and other lifestyle businesses in the county who have had an undeniably tough year.

Each winner was decided by a public vote, and the list of category winners is below.

Felicity McClintock, head of marketing and business development at Willans, commented, “Our firm has been part of the Gloucestershire community for over 70 years, and it’s a pleasure to be able to give support to our fellow county businesses during such a challenging time.

“It has been great to work with SoGlos this year and champion the county’s best lifestyle businesses together with them. There are many unsung heroes in this sector and the awards are an excellent way to shine the spotlight on them.”
