Torpoint Business Owner’s Leap of Faith Pays Off: Double Award Finalist Announcement Sparks Buzz

A Torpoint-based website design business has been shortlisted for two prestigious awards, less than five months after launching.

Double Award Recognition

Jenna Corrigan Design Co. is celebrating after being named a finalist in the UK Small Business Awards. The business has been shortlisted in two categories: Best Website Design Business and Best New Business.

Jenna Corrigan said,

“Can’t quite believe it’s real! Still buzzing from the news that Jenna Corrigan Design Co. is a finalist in two categories at the UK Small Business Awards. This has given me such a boost of motivation! It’s a reminder that hard work and passion do pay off. I’m even more excited to keep pushing the boundaries and delivering the best possible website solutions for glamping and hospitality venues.”

Specialist Support for Glamping and Hospitality Businesses

Jenna Corrigan Design Co. specialises in creating all-in-one website solutions for glamping and hospitality venues across the UK. Jenna designs websites that are not only visually striking but also integrate key tools such as booking systems, payment processing, and marketing features.

The goal is to simplify the online presence for busy venue owners and help them increase their direct bookings, cutting reliance on third-party platforms.

From South Africa to the South West

Jenna’s journey to launching the business began after relocating from South Africa to the UK in February 2022. Officially launching Jenna Corrigan Design Co. in January 2025, Jenna faced the challenge of starting fresh without any prior UK business experience or local network.

Jenna explained,

“Moving from sunny South Africa in February 2022, I was daunted by the idea of starting Jenna Corrigan Design Co. while still trying to find my feet in a new country. Nevertheless, I took that leap of faith and officially launched in January 2025.”

Jenna added,

“With no UK business experience and no network to rely on, I had to build everything from the ground up – from learning the ins and outs of the local market to finding clients and establishing credibility. It’s been a steep learning curve, but it’s also made me incredibly determined to succeed.”

Celebrating Small Business Success

The UK Small Business Awards recognise outstanding businesses and entrepreneurs across the country. To be shortlisted among them is seen as an incredible honour by many of the finalists.
