Bondholders triumph at Enterprising Women Awards

A number of Bondholders enjoyed success at East Midlands Chamber’s Enterprising Women Awards.

From rising stars to established leaders, the awards recognise the best of the region’s female business talent.

The awards ceremony, which this year took place in Leicester, is the main event in the calendar for Enterprising Women, which supports and champions women in business across the East Midlands via a series of networking events, interactive workshops and guest speakers throughout the year.

This year, the Apprentice of the Year Award was shared by Alice Lees, of Rolls-Royce and Sophie Shapcott, from Smith Partnership.

Meanwhile, Cosy Direct scooped the Social Commitment Award, while the Small Business of the Year title went to Katapult.

There was also individual honours for Ruby Birks, of Purpose Media, who was named Rising Star.

Jean Mountain, who founded the Enterprising Women network 26 years ago and is co-chair, said: “After some wonderful celebrations for our silver jubilee last year, Enterprising Women continues to go from strength to strength – as do our members, evidenced by the tremendous quality in entrants, finalists and winners in our awards.

“There is a wide breadth of female talent across the East Midlands business community, and we are proud to once again celebrate their achievements with the support of our fantastic partners.”
