Staffordshire business owner wins High Sheriff Award for entrepreneurial spirit and ‘uplifting others’
A business owner has been recognised as a ‘remarkable example of British entrepreneurial spirit infused with Midlands charm’ by the West Midlands High Sheriff.
Kyle Raffo, owner of printing and branded merchandise firm, Embello in Tamworth, has been honoured with a High Sheriff’s Award from Douglas Wright MBE.
High Sheriff’s Awards celebrate the work of individuals and organisations across the West Midlands, who have made outstanding contributions to the communities in which they live or work.
The 31-year-old entrepreneur was presented with the award by Mr Wright at a special ceremony at Holy Trinity Parish Church, attended by other award winners, and dignitaries including His Majesty’s Lord-Lieutenant Derrick Anderson CBE, Priest in Charge, Rev’d Canon Becky Stephens, Chaplain to the King, Rev’d Canon Mark Pryce and Lord Mayors and Mayors of all seven boroughs of the West Midlands.
During the ceremony, Kyle was commended for his journey to business success, which began with him selling sweets from the school playground, before being mentored at Dragon’s Den investor Peter Jones’ academy, and founding the leading printing business.
