At OptiSocial, we’re all about championing the people and businesses making a real impact in their communities - so it’s always a proud moment when one of our own is recognised for the work they’re doing locally.

This week, our very own Garrey was featured on Great Yorkshire Radio, where he spoke about the continued success of the Goole & Howdenshire Business Excellence Awards.
As Chair of the Awards Committee, Garrey has played a key role in supporting and shaping the awards as they’ve grown year on year. In the interview, he shared just how much momentum the awards have built in 2026 - with more entries, more engagement, and more local businesses getting involved than ever before.
It’s a clear reflection of the strength of the business community across Goole and Howdenshire. From independent retailers to growing enterprises, the awards continue to shine a spotlight on the people driving the region forward.
At OptiSocial, we’ve loved being part of that journey - supporting the promotion of the awards and helping to showcase the incredible stories behind the businesses involved. It’s exactly the kind of work we’re passionate about: bringing visibility to the people and brands that deserve it most.
With the awards night taking place on 10th April, the excitement is building, and it’s set to be a fantastic evening celebrating local success.
