The winners of local MP Robbie Moore’s 2025 Small Business Awards have been crowned after more than 2,500 votes were cast for over 200 small businesses across Keighley, Ilkley, Craven and the Worth Valley.
In the local awards, Jacqui Mac MediSpa took the top spot in Ilkley. Owner Jackie grew up in Ilkley and is a well-known and respected practitioner, recently hailed ‘Best Boss’ at this year’s Ilkley Business Awards. Jacqui Mac is the first CQC-registered medical aesthetics, health and wellness clinic in Ilkley, providing state-of-the-art health, wellness and aesthetics treatments including LED light therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma therapy, skin treatments, weight loss, laser treatment and injectables. They also offer upper eyelid surgery, with an in-house consultant ophthalmic surgeon, and have recently added a dermatologist to their team.
Jackie said:
“We are very humbled by the amount of votes our patients did for us, and are continuing to grow and adding to the team with experts and professionals to offer the best standards and treatments to treat skin, aging and health and wellness needs. We are really proud of how far the team has come and how much support we have in the local area. Thank you!”
The idyllic café and petting farm at Windle House Farm taking the top spot in the Worth Valley, and Start-up boxing club Switch Hitters were voted Keighley’s best small business.
Silsden’s Olive & Green look the Craven title and the overall top spot following the public vote. Olive & Green opened in November last year after an absence of an independent greengrocer in Silsden for years. A trained chef, owner Nicola has vast experience in catering and retail, including running sandwich bars and delis. The independent greengrocers, deli and gift shop received hundreds of nominations.
Mr Moore congratulated the winners on their achievements, urging residents to “shop local” in the new year and beyond.
Robbie Moore MP said:
“What stands out about this year’s winners is that they are all either new businesses, start-up ventures or have reopened to serve our community. At a time when small businesses are facing rising costs and growing uncertainty, these owners have chosen to take the risk and back all things local. That says a huge amount about the character of our local business community – and this year's winners certainly reflect that.
Nic, Simon and the team at Olive & Green are a brilliant example of that spirit, bringing a buzz back to Silsden’s high street. They should be exceptionally proud of the support they have received. I also want to congratulate Windle House Farm, Switch Hitters Boxing Club and Jacqui Mac Aesthetics – all amazing local businesses I have had the pleasure to get to know this year. Together, they show that despite the challenges, small businesses across Keighley, Ilkley, Craven and the Worth Valley continue to fight on – and in 2026 and beyond, they deserve our full support.”
