Michelle Crook from Bedford Takes Home Gold for Business Person of the Year (2024) at SME Awards

Bedford, Bedfordshire Jan 19, 2026 (EMWNews.com) – Reactiv8 the Nation is thrilled to announce that their Founder and Director, Michelle Crook, has been awarded Business Person of the Year (2024) – Gold at the prestigious SME National Business Awards 2024 held at Wembley, London. This national recognition is a testament to Michelle’s exceptional leadership and dedication to excellence and community development.

“We are so delighted to be recognised and rewarded at a national level,” said Michelle Crook. “Our aim is to help all our clients to create sustainable life changes” she adds. She also mentions that “On a corporate level, we work with business leaders to build better teams, improve staff morale and work culture.”

Her organisation serves as a live example as stated in the previous line, since Reactiv8 the Nation Ltd won Silver for the Community Business of the Year (2024) at SME Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce. Michelle says, “This award is not just a personal achievement but a reflection of the hard work and commitment of our entire team,” as she previously won Gold for the Business Person of the Year (2024) at the SME Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce.

These achievements were stepping stones that led to our nomination for the national finals at Wembley in December, where we made history by taking home the Gold award. As we celebrate this milestone, we look forward to spreading awareness about our services and products that help communities flourish and the workforce thrive. Our mission remains to support and uplift the Bedfordshire community and beyond.
