UPDATE October 25

We were delighted to be awarded Runner-Up in both categories!
​
Best New Start-Up & Best Social Impact Award
When I launched this business in May 2024, I knew my vision and mission was to change peoples lives, knowing the need for a quality, reliable and life changing service.
Many hours of worry, sacrifices to my family and work have gone into creating what is shaping up to be the best befriending service out there and I could not be prouder of myself, the team and our clients that thanks to placing their trust in us are now enjoying a new lease of life, their families a piece of calm and reassurance and carers a well deserved regular breaks to look forward to.
​
In its second year now I am so grateful to have come as far as we have in such short time, we have now received the honour of having been named runner -up for two categories of the Spelthorne Business Awards, another way to raise our profile and let people know that we are the real deal, trustworthy and in it for the long run.​
Thank you
Anja
​ Best New Start-Up & Best Social Impact Award
An Award Winning Company
Having formed Companionship Services only one month prior and with hopes to grow her vision - our founder Anja entered The Spelthorne Business Plan Competition in June '24. ​
​
With the aim to improve the lives of people affected by age related illness, disabilities and feelings of isolation and loneliness and their families, the business ethos was a hit with the judges.
​
In a Dragon’s Den style pitch, Anja successfully fought off five other amazing business ideas to be named as the competition winner!
Five months on and our company gained further recognition, when we made it to the finals of the Spelthorne Business Awards,
and our latest success being runner-up in two very special categories, chosen out of hundreds of applications.
What an absolute honour.
