Cranfield entrepreneur Jo Bolton, founder of Flourish Social Hub, has been named Business Content Creator of the Year 2025 at the SME News Southern Enterprise Awards.
At just 30 years old, Jo has built a thriving business helping female founders and small business owners to show up with confidence and creativity on social media.
Flourish Social Hub specialises in content creation, strategy and management, with a particular focus on helping businesses create Reels that stand out and connect with audiences.
Flourish has quickly grown into a trusted brand known for its supportive, practical and enjoyable approach to making social media work for small businesses.
Supporting women in business
Jo said she launched Flourish after noticing how many business owners struggled with the demands of social media.
“I started Flourish because I saw how many business owners were overwhelmed by social media,” she said. “I wanted to make it something they could actually enjoy, and that genuinely works for their business.
