A CONTENT creator from Leamington is in the running for a national business award.
Bia Rodrigues-Perry has been named a finalist in the Best Content Creator category at the UK Small Business Awards.
Originally from Brazil, Bia is one of a small number of Midlands-based finalists shortlisted in this year’s awards, which recognise individuals and businesses making a significant impact through innovation, creativity and community engagement.
She has built an audience of more than 80,000 followers and subscribers, generating approximately 1.5 million monthly views through content that celebrates food, wellbeing, local businesses and community stories.
The nomination recognises not only the scale of her audience but also the positive impact of her work. Through her platforms, Bia has championed independent businesses, supported charitable causes, produced community campaigns and raised awareness of issues including mental health and menopause.
As creator and producer of Bia’s Kitchen Show, Bia has developed a loyal following by sharing recipes, interviewing chefs and showcasing the people behind successful local businesses and community initiatives.
The show’s success led to the publication of her cookbook, A Culinary Journey of Gratitude, featuring personal recipes alongside contributions from guests featured on the programme. Profits from the book support Coventry, Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind.
Bia said: “When I started sharing recipes and stories, I never imagined it would lead to national recognition like this.
“This nomination means so much because it reflects the purpose behind everything I do. Whether supporting local businesses, promoting charitable causes or creating conversations that help people feel seen and understood, the focus has always been on making a positive difference.
“To be recognised alongside so many talented creators from across the UK is both humbling and incredibly rewarding.”
The UK Small Business Awards take place on December 19 in Birmingham, bringing together entrepreneurs, business leaders and creators from across the UK.
