This year, across all 28 Muddy counties, an astonishing 77,000 businesses were nominated and total of 800,000 votes were cast. Those right there are big numbers! And in Surrey alone, there was a total of 25,000 votes cast in the Final to decide who was crowned winner. I know,&nbsp;bonkers!&nbsp;



So our 2023 Surrey Muddy Stilettos Awards winners gathered together for an afternoon of celebration last week at Denbies Wine Estate near Dorking. We’re big fans of this cool vineyard, with views that will make you gasp with delight and a delicious and award-winning range of tipples &#8211; plus vineyard tours and wine tasting experiences on offer – there’s so much to love.

The whole event was a blast from beginning to end.&nbsp;We love meeting the inspirational, creative people behind Surrey&#8217;s best businesses – discovering brilliant local businesses is right at the heart of Muddy and we really do&nbsp;love&nbsp;it.



Running a business requires great effort and to make it a successful one that brightens up our daily lives, adding to our community, is no mean feat. So it’s an honour to be able to celebrate this on behalf of hard-working business owners across Surrey.

And the winning businesses should feel proud. ALL the Finalists are a hugely talented bunch and the battle to reach the finals was insane. To win the top title is an incredible achievement.



But without you lovely readers there would be no party and no awards, so it’s a big heartfelt THANK YOU from me and the Muddy team for&nbsp;taking your time to vote and give your local favourites a pat on the back. You’ve really shown how in love with local you are and your support means everything to us and to local businesses.
