"We're really pleased to receive this award. Small business owners don't always need a huge agency or complicated strategy. They need clear advice, fair pricing, and someone who cares about getting the basics right. That's what we've tried to build at Virens.

"This award means a lot because it reflects the type of businesses we love working with. Local trades, family-run companies, independent shops, professional services and ambitious start-ups are often doing brilliant work, but they don't always have the time or confidence to shout about it online. Our job is to help them show up properly and win more of the right enquiries."

Alongside its client work, Virens also supports local sports clubs, charities and community organisations, and offers work experience opportunities to local students.

The SME News Business Elite Awards celebrate successful small and medium-sized businesses from across the UK. Virens is listed by SME News as one of the 2026 winners.
