🌟 We Did It — With Your Love & Support! 🌟
We are overjoyed to share that Planet Wellness has won “Ilford Best Independent Business” and remained a proud finalist in the “Redbridge Health & Wellbeing Champions” category.
What an honour! 🏆💚
A special thank you to our wonderful supporters who joined us at the Awards Ceremony. We know many of you were really there for the party, food, and drinks 😉 — but what truly moved us was this:
On the eve of the finalist list being announced, Petrina asked if you would still attend even if Planet Wellness did not make the list… and every single one of you replied with a wholehearted YES. Your loyalty and love touched us deeply. ❤️
These awards are part of the Ilford Business Improvement District (BID), representing over 400 businesses in the town centre alone. Standing among such a vast and competitive landscape makes this achievement even more meaningful. Thank you Nelson College for sponsoring our award.
Our business has often felt like David in a David-and-Goliath world — small, independent, and quietly doing the work we love. But with determination, consistency, and unwavering belief, we stood tall… and we won.
To our supporters near and far — those who have known us for years and those who only just met us — thank you for voting, cheering, and uplifting us every step of the way. Some of you even tolerated our many reminders to vote (we appreciate your patience! 😅).
And to the very small minority who either overlooked our request for votes or declined because it felt too good to be true — we completely understand. The world today can make even the simplest things seem uncertain. We respect your decision wholeheartedly and hope to have your support in future.
We are also truly touched by the continuous stream of congratulatory messages and well wishes. Your kindness and encouragement mean more than you know.
Over the years, we have overcome many hurdles, and we wouldn’t be here without the unwavering support of our family, friends, colleagues, neighbours, mentors, and incredible customers.
✨ This achievement is yours as much as it is ours.
We look forward to continuing our mission and serving our community with even more heart, passion, and purpose.
The journey continues — and the best is yet to come. 🌱✨
