Judy Groves, Awards Chair, said: “The Business Woman Award seeks to identify strong role models and in 2011 it has evolved to inspire young entrepreneurs to believe in themselves, follow their dreams and make the most of new opportunities. The breadth of market sectors from which this year’s finalists are drawn is proof that women today can succeed in whatever their chosen vocation may be.”

The eight finalists will meet the Business Woman Award’s judges at Mallory Court Hotel in Leamington Spa on Friday 7 October. The winner will be exclusively announced at the Woman of the Year Luncheon and Awards held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole on Friday 14 October 2011.
