Leamington content creator is nominated for national award
Leamington presenter, producer, author and content creator Bia Rodrigues-Perry has been named a finalist in the Best Content Creator category at the UK Small Business Awards 2026.
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.
Originally from Brazil and now based in Leamington, Bia has built an audience of more than 80,000 followers and subscribers, generating about 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.
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.”
Bia is one of a small number of Midlands-based finalists shortlisted in this year’s National Business Awards.
Selected from tens of thousands of entries nationwide, the awards recognise individuals and businesses making a significant impact through innovation, creativity and community engagement.
