National award for Wiltshire tech CEO

A Wiltshire-based female entrepreneur has been honoured with an award for leadership at the Great British Business & Community Awards.

Danielle Holmes, founder and CEO of Wiltshire-based website specialist Black Nova Designs won a Bronze Award for Business Leader of the Year.

The ceremony, held in Marlow, Buckinghamshire on Friday, September 25, celebrated the achievements of businesses, charities and inspirational individuals from across Great Britain. The award recognises an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to business and industry through years of dedication and hard work.

“I am absolutely thrilled and deeply honoured to receive the Bronze Award for Business Leader of the Year at the Great British Awards,” Danielle said.

“This recognition means so much because it reflects not only my personal journey, but also the incredible support of my team, clients, and business community.”

The award-winning firm has provided professional IT solutions and website specialist knowledge for more than a decade, supporting over 1,000 clients across the UK with accessible, down-to-earth support and high-quality websites.

“Building and growing a business is never a solo effort, and I am truly grateful to everyone who has been part of that journey,” she added.

“This award inspires me to continue supporting businesses, driving innovation, and making a positive impact in the years ahead.”

The accolade caps a strong 2026 for the company, which was recently named an Expert Partner by WooCommerce, Jetpack and Pressable.
