A marketing company from Bury St Edmunds is in with the chance to be named the best small business in the UK.

Toolbox Marketing has recently become a finalist for the Community category of the FSB East of England Small Business Awards and is in the running to be named UK Small Business of the Year.

Toolbox Marketing has been recognised for its achievements and contributions to the local community.

The company was founded 12 years ago by the CEO Michelle Buxton, being a part of a bigger group, and since November 2021 has been operating on its own.
