Women Urged to Enter Top Awards

This year’s prestigious Swansea Bay Woman of the Year Awards were launched last week at the City’s International Women’s Day Event at The Village Hotel. 

Nominations are now being sought from across Swansea Bay.  Individuals from Neath, Port Talbot, Swansea and Carmarthenshire are being urged to  enter themselves, friends, family members or work colleagues into one of the five categories, one of  which is new.

The New Business Award has been introduced in recognition of business women who have successfully demonstrated exceptional skills in the establishment of a business stared within the last 3 years.  

Other categories include: Business, Community, Innovation and Management.  The nominations for the awards must be submitted no later than Friday 11th September. 

Claire Goldsworthy, Head of Private Client at John Collins & Partners LLP Solicitors, the event’s main sponsors, commented at the launch “It is very exiting to be once again launching nominations for the Awards.  At JCP we are delighted to continue supporting this event.  Each year the winners have been inspirational role models and ambassadors for the region – and I am sure that this years’ nominees, finalists and winners will be no exception”. 

The Swansea Bay Woman of the Year, now in its 6th year, aims to promote and celebrate the role of women in all sectors of society.  Recognising their achievements and to provide role models to inspire others and the region as whole. 

The category winners will be announced at a dinner and awards ceremony hosted by the BBC’s Sara Edwards at Swansea’s Brangwyn Hall, on Friday 27th November, where the overall winner will also be named. For more information or to reserve a table or seat at the event contact Sarah Toomey on 01792 545066 This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it  or visit www.thebayinbusiness.com
