100 of the UK’s most inspiring female entrepreneurs have been named by Small Business Britain, in a line-up that reflects the phenomenal contribution to society, economy and communities that many female founders are making across the UK.
Now in its fifth year, the growing campaign attracted a record number of applications for this year’s ‘#ialso100’ line-up, reflecting how mission-driven female entrepreneurs continue to flourish despite the challenges of the past years, with many scaling or starting new ventures.
Indeed, research undertaken by the campaign last year signalled a strong entrepreneurial outlook among women. Almost one fifth of women in the UK reported considering starting their own businesses, and two fifths said they were motivated to turn a passion into a business.
Many of the businesses featured in this year’s campaign also demonstrate a huge commitment to the environment by championing sustainability.
“The brilliant female entrepreneurs featured in this year’s #ialso100 are nothing short of phenomenal,” said Michelle Ovens.
“All over the UK incredible women are running businesses with a huge sense of mission and passion behind them. They are adding value to society and the economy, while supporting their communities and peers. It is so vital that we recognise and celebrate the powerful contribution of women running businesses across the UK. The last few years have been hugely challenging for small businesses, yet despite this female entrepreneurship continues to grow and flourish in the UK. We must continue to nurture and protect this spirit, as these businesses will undoubtedly be at the heart of driving the UK’s recovery.” Ovens added
