A decade of celebrating and advancing women entrepreneurs

During the past ten years The NatWest everywoman Awards have celebrated inspirational businesswomen who have achieved significant success - particularly those who have had to overcome adversities such as financial constraints, social disadvantages or skills gaps. The Awards play an invaluable role in both recognising success and inspiring other women to venture into the field of business.

Previous Award winners include both household names as Karren Brady, Hilary Devey, Dame Mary Perkins, Chrissie Rucker MBE and Cath Kidston MBE and a multitude of extraordinary women whose businesses both large and small support Britain’s reputation as one of the best countries for enterprise.

We are delighted that NatWest, one of the UK's leading banks for business, have joined us as sponsors of this programme.

After so many years in a business it is a great accolade and wonderful to be able to inspire other women to start and manage successful businesses of their own.
