Testimonials
What previous everywoman in Technology Awards winners have said:
“I would encourage all women who are succeeding in the UK technology industry to consider entering these awards. In an industry that is still dominated by men, it’s important to recognise and praise the successes of women, many of whom have faced and overcome glass ceilings to get to where they are today. By getting all successful female technology leaders together in one room inspires others to aim higher and achieve the seemingly ‘unachievable’. This attitude and self-belief is vital for engendering confidence in women and for getting the very best out of the UK technology industry.”
Vin Murria, CEO, Advanced Computer Software Group plc
2012 Woman of the Year Award Winner
“Winning at the everywoman in Technology Awards has helped to raise FDM’s profile and accelerate our brand awareness, further enhancing our reputation. Furthermore, FDM has received £40,000 worth of national and regional press coverage on the back of the win, giving us the opportunity to share our vision and values with wider audiences. The awards are a shining example of the widespread support for women in the IT and technology sectors. With less than 20% of IT professionals being women, it is a great platform to showcase and celebrate the calibre and growth of women in such a male dominated industry. I would highly recommend other female entrepreneurs to get involved.”
Sheila Flavell, Chief Operating Officer, FDM Group
2012 Leader of the Year in a Corporate Organisation Award Winner
“It was very exciting to hear my name called as it's an absolute honour to win this prestigious Award. Everyone at the ceremony was friendly and it was a great networking opportunity as I had the chance to chat to many successful women from different backgrounds. It's surprising the scale of positive impact winning this Award has had from the media, both on the regional and national level - I was approached by a few organisations asking for a business advice from female perspective…. I love sharing my experiences and helping women to get into technology and business, and would definitely encourage women to attend next years event - the atmosphere and speakers were inspirational!”

2012 Entrepreneur of the Year Award Winner
“I am delighted to be selected as the winner of the 2012 Rising Star of the Year Award, which celebrates successful women in the technology industry. For me, the best part of winning was the opportunity to meet so many talented females who are all enjoying successful careers and who are making a difference. I hope this award will give me more opportunities to encourage young girls across the country to consider entering into this creative, innovative and opportune sector. I truly believe the technology sector holds a world of opportunities for young and aspiring females and I accepted this award on behalf of the current and future female talent in technology.”

2012 Rising Star of the Year Award Winner
“Winning Team Leader brings home that without an exceptional team to work with the award wouldn't have been mine to receive. However once the other finalists profiles were available I realised just how high the standard was and how honoured I was to be amongst them let alone to be selected to win… The ability to meet and network with like-minded women is an opportunity not to be missed and the respect the awards carry is realised in the reaction of colleagues and business partners. There are also opportunities that present themselves as a result are often quite surprising including being able to assist other women reach their potential.”
