Hero Brown, founder and Editor-in-chief of Muddy Stilettos adds: "I set up these awards 10 years ago to give local lifestyle businesses a chance to shout about how brilliant they are. It's been an honour to showcase the most creative, innovative lifestyle businesses across Essex, in partnership with our local sponsor, Chelmsford City Racecourse. The response to this year's Muddy Awards has been incredible with many thousands voting to support wonderful local businesses and their own vibrant communities."
