Test Valley Business Awards (TVBA) have announced their third entry prize winner for the 2018 awards – chosen by Adam Phillips of It’s The Money Guy.

Collecting his prize at Rosebourne this week, Adam – winner of the Awards’ second entry prize – also selected the Awards’ third entry prize winner.

Taking a name out of a hat, Adam chose James Lamb of Idea Reality Ltd. as the winner of locally brewed beer courtesy of Betteridge’s Brewery.

Adam Phillips of It’s The Money Guy commented “The Money Guy is there to help people and businesses make better financial decisions. Money doesn’t buy you happiness, but it certainly makes life a little easier. I want to try and stop people spending needlessly and to help better educate them on their rights so that they can utilise as much of their own money as possible!

I will be on Andover Radio 95.9 FM very soon talking about money, money help and getting local businesses on there to help understand their own journey.

The Test Valley Business Awards is so important to the future of small businesses in the Test Valley region; particularly with the loss of quite a few big chains leaving the high street, it has become more important than ever to support the individual and small businesses situated in and around Andover.
