Best Business Women Awards

I’ve always enjoyed the excitement of photographing an awards night, so was delighted to be booked by Debbie Gilbert to cover her first ‘Best Business Women Awards’. Debbie also founded the very successful Mums UnLtd and Viva Business Networking and set up the national awards competition to recognise and reward women who run a business around family commitments.

There were 17 categories to enter, covering a wide range of industries including – ‘Best Business, Best New Business and Most Inspiring Businesswoman’. The awards received over 260 entries and the setting of Club Batchwood in St Albans was the venue for the evenings 180 guests.

The grand chandelier at Club Batchwood made a stunning backdrop to the winners presentation pictures, taken at the top of the impressive sweeping staircase and all of the ladies looked really fabulous.

It was difficult to pick out only a few photos to use in my collage (see below) as there were so many pictures of talented business women to choose from.  The award winners are the ladies in the top photo and all of the finalists are featured in the larger group shot.

Pictured also are Kate Marston from KM Design in Tring, winner of  Best Business Services.

The overall Best Business winner was Julianne Hadden, founder of Jepeca, who also won the Best Business Working with Children and Families award.

Ravneet Bermi of Puddleducks, West Herts, Luton & Dunstable, winner of Best New Business and Best Business Woman in Franchising.

The owner of Stevenage based ASK Physio, Sarah Kinsella, was the winner of Best Business Woman in Health & Wellness.
