STOURPORT-ON-SEVERN – Marc Jukes (known as ‘Storme’), founder of Your Digital Alchemist Ltd, has been officially named a double finalist at The UK Small Business Awards—and all eyes are now on whether he can secure a massive quadruple nomination.
Just six months after transitioning 20 years of industry expertise into a Limited company, Marc has been shortlisted for UK Best Small Business and UK Best Start-Up Business. The local business community is now waiting to see if he can pull off a “quadruple” sweep as he awaits the final shortlist results for Best Work From Home Business and Best Website Designer.
The UK Small Business Awards are a national celebration of the grit and creativity that define the UK’s small business sector. The double (and potentially quadruple) recognition highlights the rapid success of Marc’s “Digital Alchemy” approach—a blend of veteran technical skill and a modern, results-first strategy.
Speaking on the awards, a spokesperson said: “The standard of entries this year has been incredibly high. Each finalist has demonstrated an exceptional level of talent and dedication, representing the very best of UK small businesses.”
“I am incredibly honoured to be a double finalist,” said Marc Jukes. “After 20 years in the digital space, I launched Your Digital Alchemist to prove that marketing doesn’t have to be full of ‘smoke and mirrors’ or complex jargon. To be recognised for our growth and business model so early on is a dream start. Will I make it a quadruple? We are keeping our fingers crossed for the final two categories—it would be an incredible achievement to represent Stourport across four different national stages.”
The UK Small Business Awards will take place on 19 December 2026 at The Eastside Rooms in Birmingham, where the National Top 10 will be revealed live on stage and live-streamed worldwide.
