One week on from a very lovely night at the in Blackpool ✨
No trophy for us this time, but I was so proud that Evenly was a finalist in the Health & Beauty category, and to spend the evening celebrating so many brilliant women and businesses.
Even better, I got to share the night with Charlotte Giddings from , who was a finalist in the Family Business category. Charlotte and I met earlier this year through the SBS x NatWest Accelerator pitch competition with Theo Paphitis, and what started as two founders in the same competition has turned into a really lovely friendship. 💛
When my category was called, Charlotte grabbed my hand while we waited to hear the result and somehow managed to take a photo at the same time. We were very much there cheering each other on through the nervous bits!
Running a business can be a lonely old thing sometimes, so finding people along the way who really get it is pretty special.
Such an inspiring evening, followed by a great day exploring Blackpool and braving the Pleasure Beach rollercoasters, and I'm very proud to have had Evenly there amongst such a brilliant group of finalists. ✨
