“These awards are a huge part of the chamber calendar and we can’t wait for the big night, which we hope will be a physical celebration that we can all look forward to.”

Jean said: “As we approach the 25th anniversary of the Enterprising Women network next year, this is once again a very strong line-up in our awards shortlist.

“We’ve loved watching our finalists and winners in previous years go on to achieve great things, and I’m sure the class of 2021 will be no different.”
