Last year’s winning line-up
Shortlist for Enterprising Women Awards 2021 revealed
Apprentices, entrepreneurs and STEM ambassadors are among those recognised at East Midlands Chamber’s Enterprising Women Awards this year. Finalists have been announced
for the 2021 awards, held in partnership with headline sponsor Futures Housing Group, across eight categories. Alongside individual categories,
topped off by the Business Woman of the Year, there are group awards including Small Business of the Year and Team of the Year. The shortlisted individuals and
companies will find out whether they have won at an awards ceremony on Friday 8 October, which is currently planned as a gala dinner in Nottingham. It will be the headline event for
the Enterprising Women network, which is co-chaired by Chamber president Eileen Richards MBE and past president Jean Mountain. Eileen said: “The East Midlands is
home to some fantastic success stories of enterprising women and it’s great to be able to celebrate the people, teams and businesses that help to make our region so great. “These awards are a huge part of
the Chamber calendar and we can’t wait for the big night, which we hope will be a physical celebration that we can all look forward to.”
Jean added: “As we approach
the 25th anniversary of the Enterprising Women network next year, this is once again a very strong line-up in our awards shortlist. “We’ve loved watching our
finalists and winners in previous years go on to achieve great things, and I’m sure the class of 2021 will be no different.” The finalists were announced at
a special Enterprising Women event lon 20 May, in which guest speaker Lindsey Williams, group chief executive of Futures Housing Group, spoke about her career journey. Lindsey said: “I’m delighted that
Futures Housing Group is sponsoring the East Midlands Chamber’s Enterprising Women Awards for 2021. “It’s been an absolute pleasure to
read through the nominations from women across the region and I’m pleased to say we have seen some outstanding nominees.”

People & Skills Summit to cover post-16 education reform
The Government’s latest plans for further education will be the hot topic of discussion during the main event in the Chamber’s upcoming People & Skills Week. The People & Skills Summit 2021:
The Skills Landscape Beyond Recovery will feature speakers from Government, further education and businesses giving an update on the post-16 education reform. A white paper titled Plan for Jobs: Lifelong Learning for
Opportunities and Growth was published by the Department for Education in January, and the Queen’s Speech included a Skills and Post-16 Education Bill that will be central to the post-Covid economic recovery. Following introductory talks from
a senior Government representative, RDS Global CEO Andy Flinn and Loughborough College principal and chief executive Jo Maher, there will be a
panel discussion during the summit hosted by Chamber director of policy and external affairs Chris Hobson about how to overcome skills issues. The summit takes place on
Wednesday 16 June from 9.30am to 12.30pm. It forms the centrepiece of People & Skills Week from Monday 14 June to Friday 18 June.
