Stanford Gould Scoops International Award

Nottingham-based business Stanford Gould Online has won an award at the seventh Global Wedding Awards for its professional services to its clients. Stanford Gould Online, a division of Stanford Gould Group, is now into its fifth year of trading. It supports event suppliers with their legal and contractual matters and provides an affordable, ‘off the shelf’ template solution, tailored to different suppliers in the industry.

Owner Heather Stanford said: “The business pre-dates COVID, but we’re certainly one of the lucky businesses that was overwhelmed with demand for support throughout the pandemic, as the industry was turned on its head.

Many suppliers were unprepared for such unprecedented circumstances and their legal terms didn’t protect them. We helped many businesses to navigate this nightmarish period and ultimately remain operational at the end of it.

“Legal matters and terminology can be overwhelming and difficult to make sense of, for creative businesses in particular. So many of my clients feel as though I have rescued them from that stress and confusion and a potential a minefield of contractual problems.”
