Somerset-based event planning and styling business Scarlett Rose Events was one of the final three businesses vying for the title of Start-up of the Year at the Somerset Business Awards 2023 recently. This success recognises the growth of the business, which in the last year has only gone from strength to strength.
Founded by Georgina Fisher in April 2021, Scarlett Rose Events was established following 15 years experience gained in the events industry in the UK and Australia. Georgina says, “Starting a business during the pandemic could have been seen as a risky move, but I saw the potential for events to blossom in a new era. I seized the opportunity to bring a fresh perspective to the event scene of rural Somerset, embracing the beautiful scenery to create unique celebrations.
“I'm incredibly humbled that the success of my businesses resulted in being recognised as a finalist at the Somerset Business Awards, and am looking forward to growing my team and client portfolio over the next year.”
A particular focus for Georgina now is to collaborate with the strong supplier network in the region. She already shares a creative studio with wedding florist Wilde Green at Martock Workspace. Owner and florist Emma Benson says, “Georgi and I work closely together to help clients realise their dream events, ensuring floral designs tie in seamlessly with table and décor schemes.”
