We're delighted to have been chosen as a finalist in not one, but TWO categories in Forward Ladies Women in Business Awards 2015 for Yorkshire & The North East!
Lucy Scott Paul, owner of Bah Humbugs has been chosen as a finalist in the following two categories are Yorkshire Business Woman in Retail and Best Online Yorkshire Business.
We're especially pleased to have been short listed because the competition this year has been very tough as the Forward Ladies Managing Director, Griselda Tobogo commented:
“The calibre of entries has been increasing year on year, but this year we have a number of outstanding entries, which have attracted women from all ages, all professions and all walks of life. We are also delighted to hosting regional heats in Newcastle, Manchester, London and Nottingham for the first time, which means we can showcase some of the best talent from across the whole of England.
“We also have categories to showcase the underrepresented women working in traditionally male dominated fields such as STEM, Digital and Online category, and have received some outstanding entries in this category. The judges have seriously had their work cut out for them this year.”
We've got our fingers and toes crossed for the 29th of September when the regional winner will be announced at a glittering ceremony in Newcastle. All the winners will be put forward to the National Finals in November - so it's really exciting stuff!
Lucy Scott Paul, owner of Bah Humbugs won the Forward Ladies Business Woman in Retail Award for Yorkshire in 2012 - so to be shortlisted in the awards for a second time was a real surprise. "I'm delighted to have been shortlisted for Forward Ladies Women in Business Awards again, and to have been shortlisted in two categories is just amazing! Working in Retail can be tough, especially when the UK was suffering a recession. Running an online business can be challenging too so to be recognised in this way has been just marvellous!"
