The clock is ticking down to the 2020 Successful Women Awards.

Successful Women in Business is holding its annual awards ceremony online on Wednesday December 9.

It should have been in June but was postponed because of the pandemic.

Winners in all 11 categories will be announced from the 55 finalists’ places announced in May.

The finalists come from across the South West, London and beyond, including a finalist from Canada.

Gill Donnell MBE, Founder of the awards, said: “This is our third year of running the awards and whilst we are disappointed not to be able to see our lovely sponsors and finalists on stage, we are determined to do everything we can to make our online ceremony extra special.

“We will be sending out goody boxes ahead of the event and look forward to seeing everyone in their party clothes via Zoom!”

Successful Women in Business raise many hundreds of pounds for charity every year through its annual conference and awards ceremonies.

Now Gill has devised a new way to generate extra income for this year’s charity School in a Bag (SIAB).

Tickets to the ceremony are free, but VIP tickets are available for just £25.

VIP ticket holders will be sent a goody box, receive a mention in the awards edition of the magazine (if purchased before the deadline of November 20) and also receive a mention on the night.

£10 from every ticket will go to SIAB and just £20 will buy poor, orphan, vulnerable, disadvantaged and disaster affected children a schoolbag filled with educational resources.

To support the charity as well as all of the businesswomen from around the South West and beyond you can buy your ticket here.
