CCA win at 2009 EMDA/FEBA awards

CCA has been having a lucky streak at the Ethnic Minority Business Awards, presented by the East Midlands Development Agency and First Enterprise Business Agency. In 2007 we won Best Social Enterprise, in 2008 Most Positive Contribution to Nottingham, and now in 2009 we are:

Business of the Year

Here is what First Enterprise had to say about giving the award to CCA:

When it came to a business that overall is run to the highest standards, that performs in the best interests of its customers and has plans for growth and success in the future, this year there could be only one winner. Cooperative Community Action (CCA) a not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to servicing the needs of the ethnic minority communities and disadvantaged people in Nottingham dominated the night. Not only did CCA walk away with the coveted Business of the Year Award they were also shortlisted in two other categories. Over the last nine years CCA has secured vital funding and established a dedicated, skilled team who provide advice, guidance and training on a range of subjects from employment to health awareness and enterprise development. CCA has shown continuous growth starting with just two staff and now supporting 19 with plans to shortly recruit for a further 30 appointments. The judges were impressed by CCA’s professional competence, committed and imaginative team and their vision to bring new ideas to help sectors and communities in Nottingham and across the East Midlands.
