Wiltshire gift-wrapping expert wins national business awards
A Chippenham entrepreneur who turned her love of gift-wrapping into a business has been recognised by the Female Business Awards.
Eve Cale, founder of Giftwrapped by Eve, won two categories at the awards: Sustainability & Planet Friendly – the category in which she came second last year – and New Business.
The Awards, held at the Victoria & Albert Marriott Hotel in Manchester on November 14, recognise the successes and achievements of female-led small businesses in the UK, with over 800 small businesses nominations across 16 categories this year.
Hazel Woodward, co-founder of the Female Business Awards said: “The judging panel evaluated each nominee on a range of factors, including marketing activity, client testimonials, business innovation, and the owners’ passion and enthusiasm for their industry and clients.
“Finalists demonstrated exceptional standards of service, client satisfaction and business impact.
“To be confirmed as a winner highlights the positive influence that Eve is making within her industry.”
Eve said: “It’s amazing to be recognised for how my business has grown whilst also staying aligned to my eco-friendly values.
“Giftwrapped by Eve helps you learn to wrap your gifts or package your products in a way that is also planet-friendly – we are prolific gift givers in the UK and just by making small swaps, the impact can be huge.”
Female Business Awards co-host Janine Friston, founder of the Female Business Network, said: “We are thrilled to celebrate this year’s finalists and winners, who have made such a positive impact on their clients and communities.
“The Female Business Awards aim to recognise female-led small businesses who often juggle multiple responsibilities and still create meaningful success. It’s inspiring to see their dedication and achievements acknowledged.”
