In a remarkable achievement that underscores the importance of inclusivity in the beauty industry, Christine Daly, a Grimsby-based nail technician, has been shortlisted for the Best Beauty Business category at the prestigious UK Small Business Awards. This recognition not only celebrates Christine's exceptional talent but also highlights her commitment to creating a welcoming space for neurodivergent clients.

Creating a Unique Space

Her devotion to providing high-quality nail services, paired with a soothing atmosphere, has garnered her a loyal clientele who appreciate her tailored approach and thoughtful consideration of their needs.

The Significance of Recognition

Christine expressed her gratitude for being shortlisted, stating, "We are incredibly honoured and genuinely overwhelmed to be recognised as a finalist at the UK Small Business Awards. To have that recognised on a national level is something I never imagined when I first started." This acknowledgment reflects not only her hard work but also the growing appreciation for businesses that prioritize inclusivity in their service offerings.

Looking Forward

The UK Small Business Awards will culminate in a grand event on December 19, 2026, at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, where the National Top 10 finalists will be revealed live. As anticipation builds, Christine's journey serves as an inspiring reminder of the transformative power of small businesses in fostering community and compassion.
