Just a few weeks after winning the East Midlands Business Masters 2024 Medium Sized Business of the Year award, Aquavista has scooped another – The Lloyds Small to Medium Sized Business of the Year Award at the Lloyds British Business Excellence Awards on 12 November.
The LBBE Awards is the UK’s largest and most prestigious business awards programme that celebrates the cream of the crop in British business. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) account for over 5.5 million businesses in the UK and are responsible for the employment of 60% of the UK workforce.
Competing nationally against 11 other high calibre businesses in the category, Aquavista emerged victorious having demonstrated excellence in four key areas:
- Employee & Customer Engagement
- Leadership & Innovation
- Organisational Ethics & Policies
- Financial Performance & Growth
Steve de Polo CEO for Aquavista, said: “I am incredibly proud of what our company and all our fantastic people have achieved to help us receive this level of recognition. This award is a testament to our collective hard work, dedication, and commitment to excellence. While I might have picked up the trophy at the event last night, it truly is for us all. I’d like to thank our crew for their continued hard work as we create a business we can all be proud of.”
In October Aquavista was named Medium Business of the Year (51-250 employees) at the East Midlands Business Masters Awards 2024 which took place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Nottingham. In front of an audience of over 280 business leaders from across the region, Aquavista sought off competition from three other finalists in this category.

Their mix of offerings is unrivalled in the marketplace and includes nationwide boat sales, plus floating homes and lodges for sale at several marinas.
