Brighton’s very own Alice Cripps, founder of Posh Totty Designs, is making waves nationwide as a finalist in the prestigious 2025 Enterprise Vision Awards (EVAS). This accolade celebrates the brilliance of women in business, and Alice’s nomination in the Family Business category is a testament to her remarkable journey from a humble startup to a celebrated jewellery brand.

Since its inception in 2004, Posh Totty Designs has been at the forefront of personalised jewellery, pioneering custom hand-stamped pieces in the UK. Alice’s vision was simple yet profound: to create jewellery that tells a story. With a commitment to sustainability, each piece is handmade in the UK using recycled silver, gold, and ethically sourced gemstones. These creations are not just accessories; they are modern heirlooms, crafted to commemorate life’s most cherished moments.

Alice’s success story is one of creativity, ethical production, and a strong foundation of family values. From her beginnings at the kitchen table, she has built a thriving business with a loyal customer base and shops in both Brighton and London. Her journey exemplifies innovation and resilience, qualities celebrated by the EVAS, which honour women who are shaping the future of UK enterprise.

The EVAS, now in their 14th year, spotlight the economic strength and leadership of women in business. With finalists from diverse industries, the awards highlight the untapped potential of women-led enterprises. Alice will join other finalists in interviews, public voting, and an exclusive reception at the House of Commons.

As the awards ceremony approaches, we at Sawyer & Co are thrilled to support local talent like Alice. If you’re inspired by Brighton’s vibrant community and considering a move, we’d be delighted to help you find your perfect home.
