Testimonials

“Before WWMB was launched there was no platform to support Welsh businesswomen or represent their work or achievements. Thanks to the work of Sarah and Ben Cornelius-Price however, the success and extraordinary achievements of women from all sectors and of all ages can now be recognised and celebrated. As a young entrepreneur, WWMB has provided me with a credible platform to raise the profile of my copywriting business and the once in a lifetime honour of winning Young Welsh Female Entrepreneur. Without WWMB, my achievements would have gone unrecognised and I wouldn’t be able to demonstrate to other young budding entrepreneurs that even if you’re under 25-years-old, you can still successfully set up and run your own business. I’m looking forward to seeing WWMB grow, and to the many events and activities it has planned for the year.”

“The Welsh Women Mean Business awards 2010 ceremony was a lavish and well-organised affair. I was over the moon when my name was called out for the Best Woman in Manufacturing Award. My trophy sat proudly in the middle of our table. My friends, colleagues and family were as thrilled with it as I was. The culmination of the ceremony was the announcement of the overall winner. I was very interested to see who it was going to be. I couldn’t quite believe my ears when I heard my own name! Being your own boss and a female chief executive officer in a very male dominated environment means personal congratulations are pretty few and far on the ground. I know that I am doing a good job however when my beers receive national and international accolades, and when the sales are up and the overdraft is down. But to receive congratulation in the form of Welsh Woman of the Year is overwhelming. I knew from the outset of the competition the judges had met some extraordinary and inspiring women. So to come out on top really has meant the world to me.”
