HEREFORD design and digital marketing agency, The DM Lab, has been named as one of the UK's top small businesses by a national campaign.

Small Business Saturday UK, founded in 2013, has a mission to highlight the success of small companies and to encourage the nation to support British small businesses by shopping locally.

Chosen as one of the campaign's Small Biz 100, which features a wide array of unique independent businesses delivering products and services, the DM Lab's achievements and contribution to their local community will be spotlighted and celebrated on one of the 100 days in the count down to Small Business Saturday tomorrow.

The company based on Aubrey Street also received special recognition at a House of Lords reception attended by special guests including the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, and hosted by former Secretary of State for Trade and Industry, Lord Young of Graffham, last week.

Small Business Saturday UK Director Michelle Ovens said: "The Small Biz 100 represent the very best in British business at the heart of our economy.

"They are hugely deserving of recognition and we are thrilled to have the honour of hosting this special celebration at the House of Lords."
