he Meek Boutique is an online boutique, based in Tunbridge Wells and selling women’s clothing worldwide. Our typical customer is a woman aged 40-70 who is looking for well-priced, quality, stylish clothing that works well for their shape and lifestyle. The Meek Boutique (TMB) was founded by Lynne Meek, an experienced personal stylist well known locally for her honest and practical styling advice. She launched TMB in 2018 as she was finding it hard to source the clothing she knew her clients were looking for. Our boutique has grown to a much larger family business, and now numbers six staff. We sell a wide range of clothing that is stylish, functional, and above all comfortable. TMB is known as a business who concentrates on quality of product and offers a very high level of customer service. Lynne spends a great deal of time every day answering queries and giving bespoke solutions to customers’ body shape and styling issues. We believe this gives us a great USP. There are many online boutiques, but not many owned by a personal stylist offering free styling advice. The Meek Boutique has become a ‘go to’ clothing shop for tens of thousands of women
C who need quick, easy solutions for their wardrobes. The clothes we sell are always tailored to the current season, and we are able to flexibly move with the weather and other economic situations. We are delighted to be shortlisted as a Finalist for the Times of Tunbridge Wells Business Awards 2022. themeekboutique.co.uk

Best Family Business
orker Outdoor is an independent, family-run business based in Paddock Wood. They’ve grown over two decades into a leading supplier of stone, horticultural, and landscaping products across Kent and East Sussex. One thing that makes Corker stand out against the competition is how it works with local businesses. On site, you’ll find no fewer than fifteen stunning show gardens – each one created by a professional landscaper or garden designer from the area. Each delivers three-way benefit. Most notably, it provides a tranquil, inspiring green space for customers and visitors to explore at their leisure. Their ability to showcase both Corker’s unique,
stunning product range and the designer’s skill seems almost secondary but generates huge interest for both parties. Once inspired, you can rely on expertise and dedicated customer service too. No matter how ambitious your project, two decades of experience means they have the insight to make it happen – and contacts for countless skilled, trusted tradespeople they’ve worked with before to get the job done. “We pride ourselves on delivering impeccable quality and incredible service. A simple outlook – but one that’s enabled us to forge a reputation built on personal and professional recommendation,” says Oliver Corkery, Managing Director, Corker Outdoor corker.co.uk
