The Great British Entrepreneur Awards has been celebrating the stories of exceptional entrepreneurs for over a decade.
The accolades don’t always go to the biggest businesses. We pride ourselves on celebrating incredible stories of passion, tenacity, courage, innovation and disruption from entrepreneurs running businesses of all sizes and at all stages.
Start Application!Tonya Kidd-Beggs founded STORIES Parfums in 2017 to capture memories and emotions in the form of luxury fragrances. Based in Northern Ireland, STORIES Parfums is the region’s first niche fragrance house, creating sustainable and gender-inclusive scents.
Kidd-Beggs was inspired to launch STORIES Parfums after a life-changing trip to Grasse, France, the heart of traditional perfume making. She discovered the power of fragrance to unlock memories and transform emotions. Using high-quality, sustainably-sourced ingredients and time-honored techniques, Kidd-Beggs crafted a collection of fragrances reflecting moments that shaped her own life.
STORIES Parfums has already achieved tremendous success, winning multiple awards for its sustainable and innovative approach. The brand is committed to beauty without boundaries, producing premium fragrances that transcend gender. STORIES Parfums aims to have the lightest carbon footprint possible, sourcing ingredients and packaging sustainably.
Kidd-Beggs’ goal is to build Northern Ireland’s first global luxury fragrance house, demonstrating social and environmental leadership at every step. STORIES Parfums donates a portion of all sales to causes aligned with its values. By prioritizing world-class, eco-friendly products and supporting artisanal suppliers, the brand is redefining the niche fragrance space.
STORIES Parfums and Kidd-Beggs are finalists in the 2023 Great British Entrepreneur Awards, a prestigious honor known as “The Grammys of Entrepreneurship.” The awards ceremony will be held November 20th at London’s Grosvenor House.
