Winning a Grand Ideas Award has meant a huge amount to us and the business. To know that others share in our enthusiasm for MiniManuscript gave us a massive boost. Aside from the financial help, the publicity from Shell LiveWIRE has also been brilliant - we have been really touched at the way that Shell LiveWIRE have tweeted about our various achievements since the award. It makes us feel part of the family!
