telling their stories, hopefully we can inspire other women to pursue their business dream.” The headline sponsor of the


awards is Pick Everard. Duncan Green, Managing Partner, said: “Pick Everard is delighted to be the headline sponsor again of the Enterprising Women Awards, which is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the success of women across the East Midlands. We are bucking the national trend with over 27% of our workforce being women, compared to just 11% in the property, construction and infrastructure sector. “Like a number of industries,


ours is already held back by a skills shortage and would benefit substantially from more females developing a career in the sector. We’re proactively working to reddress the balance, from providing STEM ambassadors at schools to promoting nationally the role of women in engineering and construction.” Sponsors for this year’s awards included Pick Everard, Hastings Direct, Derby College, Smallman and Sons, Leicester Racecourse, Leicester Tigers and The Belmont Hotel.
