At Do Business Network, we always take pride in celebrating the milestones and achievements of our members. Today, we want to extend our warmest congratulations to James Ibbitson, founder of Visual Punch, on securing two prestigious awards:
Northern Video Company of the Year at the Prestige Awards
Videography Studio of the Year at the My Local Hero Awards
Industry recognition is a wonderful achievement, but what makes this accomplishment particularly noteworthy is the philosophy behind the work. Beyond the trophies, these awards reflect a consistent standard of quality, technical skill, and genuine care for the client experience.
Video production involves far more than simply pressing record. It requires clear planning, strategic insight, and the ability to turn complex ideas into engaging visual narratives. Crucially, it relies on building trust with clients—helping those who feel uncomfortable in front of the lens to communicate with confidence and authenticity.
Whether capturing live events so their message continues to reach audiences well beyond the room, or creating structured video content that actively serves a business goal, James consistently demonstrates the expertise and detail required to deliver real value.
Having a strong, reliable creative partner within our network is a huge asset to the local business community. These awards are well-deserved recognition for years of dedication, high standards, and thoughtful service.
On behalf of everyone at Do Business Network, congratulations James on this fantastic double win. We look forward to watching Visual Punch continue to thrive.
