Business women’s successes celebrated at awards ceremony

Business women from across England gathered at Bath Racecourse to celebrate their achievements at Women’s Business Club‘s annual Women’s Business Conference & Awards.

One hundred and fifty delegates gathered to network, learn and celebrate.

“There is nothing quite like celebrating the accomplishments of our businesswomen,” said Angela De Souza, founder and CEO of Women’s Business Club.

“The calibre of the entries was extremely high, making the judge’s decision really tough.

“Although only one woman could win in each category, we feel that every single woman who entered is a winner – she is still standing, she is still determined to succeed, and she still has hope for the future, a winning attitude indeed.”

Tamsin Broster, conference director, added: “The energy of the room today was electric, women were connecting, collaborating and celebrating each other. This was an event that every woman in that room will remember for a long time.”
