Ten reasons to enter the National Business Women’s Awards…

… And just ten days to do it.

1- You are doing a really good job, isn’t it about time you told us about it. And what is actually stopping you?

2- You want some new clients, don’t you? Being an award winner impresses people – get yourself a competitive edge.

3- Winners attract winners – you will meet introducers, referrers, partners and kindred spirits on the awards journey.

4- You have a fabulous woman working with you who needs and deserves recognition; do it for her.

5- Female-run businesses are often more successful than businesses run by men, but women are much less likely to boast about their success says research from Barclays and the University of Cambridge. Come on….

6- Cities in the Midlands, the North and Scotland dominate the top ten list for number of female business owners – come and shout Hello Wembley!

7- On the 100th anniversary since women first got the vote join us and celebrate the fact that our hard work, expertise and commitment contributes significantly to the UK economy.

8- You may need funding for the next chapter – a national awards is a compelling reason to take you seriously.

9- Get the team involved – if you are lucky enough to work with a team of women, get them to contribute a section of the application form.

10- There is a proper swanky do at Wembley Stadium in December – not that you needed an excuse to buy a new LBD but the matching bag & shoes could well be tax-deductible.
