ENTER the Woman Who Achieves Solopreneur Awards 2020
Due to current restrictions on social distancing, and for this year only, the Woman Who Achieves Solopreneur Awards is a national event and open to anyone in the UK. The Awards will be a special online event on Friday 16th October 2020 from 12 noon. There will be inspirational keynote speakers, networking and lots of celebration.
“Entering Awards are a great way to power up your personal brand but many people hold back. Why is that? I’m told it’s a mixture of confidence, fear of failure and lack of belief that your business, and where you are right now, is good enough.
I’m particularly proud to say that my awards are not all about the financials, who you know and how long you’ve been trading. They are a platform for supporting women in business to get a foot on the ladder and gain some great PR in a safe and supportive environment.
I am there for each Finalists at each step of their journey and by the end of the process, they are instilled with confidence to enter other Awards. But that’s not all, the promotion carries on well beyond the Awards Lunch and continues for a full 12 months and beyond.
This year has been particularly challenging for all of us. I recognise that many solopreneurs have had to juggle restrictions, lack of income and childcare. This is a part of your journey and challenges faced by many during this period.
I’m especially looking forward to seeing all the inspiring stories of resilience and overcoming adversity.” Sandra Garlick
Definition of a Solopreneur:
“An entrepreneur who works alone… ‘solo’ running their business single-handed.”
“A person who sets up and runs a business on their own.”
Sandra Garlick, the founder of Woman Who said: “So often Solopreneurs are overlooked in Awards but there are some amazing businesses out there and that’s why I’ve announced that the Woman Who Achieves Solopreneur Awards 2020 are taking place.”
The Woman Who Achieves Solopreneur Awards are open for entry until midnight on Sunday 16th August 2020.
You may work with associates but quite simply you run your business as a Sole Trader or sole Director and don’t employ anyone.

“FSB have been delighted to partner with Woman Who Achieves. We are committed to helping drive a cultural change towards diversity in business and see more women starting and growing their own businesses. Research has found that currently 2.7 million women in UK want to start a business but have been put off by persistent barriers.
Woman Who Achieves is a fabulous network that brings women in business together helping them to break down those barriers, inspire them to grow and push them forward in business“
“We are thrilled to be supporting the Woman Who Achieves Awards for a fifth year. As a local company, with a large number of female employees we firmly believe more women should be given the confidence and opportunity to flourish and achieve. These Awards continue to be a great way to showcase and recognise those women who are achieving and will hopefully inspire others.
This is the fifth year we have sponsored the awards – we feel it provides us with an opportunity/platform to support women and their businesses across Coventry & Warwickshire as well as great profile for our business too and to be able to showcase the range of legal services we offer”
