Award Winning


2017 Ilkley Business Awards

Despite only being open for three years, Shoo Media were shortlisted for the micro-business award at the Ilkley Business Awards.



By this point in the night we felt like winners no matter what.. Then we won! 


After posing proudly for a photograph with our award, we got down to celebrating. We were so grateful and so proud of ourselves for winning the award due to being a micro-business, built from nothing. Furthermore, being recognised for our community work and entrepreneurship was a great honour.


Needless to say, the champagne flowed, and we danced the rest of the night away high on success. 


This award was a real milestone achievement in our journey. We would like to thank everyone who has worked with us along the way, supporting Shoo’s growth.


We have a huge sense of pride in being an Ilkley business, and for the fellow people and businesses that make it such a wonderful place to live and grow. 

Mollie's Journey

I first met Rachel and Chris whilst I was volunteering for Shoo’s charity fashion show ‘Fashion Fiesta’ in 2016 and 2017.


At the time I was starting my degree in makeup and was focusing on working freelance, so managing to keep the yearly space at Fashion Fiesta was a massive plus as it gave me the best opportunity to network and meet other people in the industry. 


Fast forward to 2018, I had taken the jump to backstage manage the show after keeping in touch with Rachel, and writing for the show’s programme in 2017.

This gave me so much confidence and experience in managing a team and coordinating a busy backstage area alongside a team of people. 


After running backstage at the 2018 show I took a step up and became Event Manager for the 2019 show which meant I was spending a lot more time with Rachel and Chris, in and out of the office planning the show. 


Spending more time in the office gave me a look into Shoo as a brand, and soon enough I started doing bits here and there and before I knew it I was given a ‘Shoo’ email address and started to get to know the clients through being in the office. 


Just before the 2019 Fashion Fiesta show last November, I became an official Shoo employee.
