A Falmouth business owner has been shortlisted for both a Lifetime of Achievement and Young Entrepreneur of The Year award.

Samantha Charles, who is director of Falmouth-based digital marketing agency, Float Digital, has been listed for the awards by the South West Business Awards.

The awards look to recognise businesses, charities, and individuals that have made an outstanding contribution to the region.

The 2021 awards ceremony, which was planned to take place in Swindon, will now take place online as a virtual event due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Float Digital is a fast-growing and multi-award-winning SEO & Google Ads agency, partnering with brands from London to New York to deliver jargon-free Search Marketing campaigns.

Since launching in 2016, the company has built a strong portfolio of clients and spoken at large international events, as well as picking up more than 50 national and international awards.

Samantha said: "I'm blown away to be shortlisted for Lifetime of Achievement & Young Entrepreneur of The Year at the South West Business Awards 2021.

"The competition was stiff so it means a lot to be recognised in, not one, but two categories this year."
