πŸŽ‰πŸ† WE DID IT, SME GOLD WINNERS! πŸ†πŸŽ‰

We are absolutely delighted (and still a little shocked!) to share some incredible news from the SME Cambridgeshire Business Awards 2026.

Tackwood MOT & Service Centre was shortlisted in three categories, and we’re so proud to announce that we came away with not one, but two awards:

πŸ† Family Business of the Year 2026

πŸ† Business Woman of the Year 2026 – Dionne Woodward

As a true three-generation family business, these awards mean so much to us. They represent years of hard work, dedication, resilience, and a commitment to delivering the very best service to our customers and community.

For Dionne personally, this recognition is incredibly special. Having dedicated her entire working life to the business, helping transform it from its transport roots into the thriving garage it is today, this award reflects a journey spanning decades and the support of an amazing family and team along the way.

We would like to say a huge thank you to our staff, customers, suppliers, friends, family, and everyone who has supported us over the years. Your trust, loyalty, recommendations, and encouragement have helped make achievements like this possible.

These wins also mean that we will once again be representing our region on the National stage in November, and we couldn’t be more proud to fly the flag for our business, our team, and our local community.

Official photos will follow when we receive them, but we were too excited not to share the news with you all first!

Thank you for being part of our journey. πŸ’™
