She said “having been nominated in March for the Thames Valley Santander Venus Awards as Business Mother of the Year, I was thrilled to have been shortlisted to the semi-finals. To my total surprise I was then announced as one of the finalists, that was amazing. I feel my business has quickly been recognised for the quality service it offers, the awards have opened so many doors for me to meet new people.
