Categories
As we know, there is no set mould for an enterprising woman, so we have created categories to cover a range of business experiences to make sure we recognize the equal importance of very different businesses and owners. We also understand that women do not work in isolation and want to celebrate their relationships with their employees as well as with their supporters – family, friends, suppliers and advisers.Inspirational Business Mum – who do you know that has successfully juggled business and family and is succeeding on both fronts?
