Pet firm boss Zoe Heard, who runs three successful businesses, has been shortlisted for Young Entrepreneur of the Year in the UK Small Business Awards.

The 26-year-old looks after Posh Paws Dog Grooming, Posh Paws Dog Training, and natural pet products firm Natri-Pet, based in Timberscombe, Somerset.

Zoe, who has appeared on the ITV’s This Morningprogramme with her show dog Kali, is a qualified dog groomer and certified dog trainer.

Her natural pet product company, Natri-Pet, is growing rapidly and will soon be supplying local businesses and pet shops, with a dedicated website launching shortly.

“Running three businesses and continually developing my skills has taken a lot of dedication,” she told the West Somerset Free Press. “Being shortlisted for this award is a great acknowledgment of that work.”
