Hero Brown, founder and Editor-in-chief of Muddy Stilettos says: “I set up these awards 11 years ago to give local lifestyle indies a chance to shine. It’s been an honour to showcase these most creative, innovative lifestyle businesses across Devon, in partnership with our local Devon sponsor Kitson Boyce and Tide banking nationally. The response to this year’s Muddy Awards has been incredible with thousands voting to support an amazing array of local businesses big and small.”
