A local crafting business and gift shop has scooped the business of the year award at this year's Halesowen Business Awards.

Bella's on Summer Hill in the town centre sells a variety of gifts and was set up by owner, Stella around three years ago.

Speaking to Black Country Radio after collecting her trophy, Stella said: "The award means the world. All of our beautiful followers and customers will be delighted - they've really supported us throughout this journey.

"It's just nice to get some recognition as a small, independent business. I'm absolutely delighted!"

A number of other businesses snapped up trophies including manager of the year and best new business at the ceremony, organised by Halesowen BID.
