Nominated by Pauline Edden, the Inspirational Woman Award is for a woman whose enthusiasm whether in the workplace or the community makes her stand out from the crowd. As well as recognising her creative influence that inspires others and the significant contributions made within the community.

It’s a true honour to be recognised amongst so many amazing and inspirational woman from across the region. I look forward to working with LadiesFirst in the future to encourage more women to enter for such prestigious awards to celebrate their successes.”
