The event recognises and rewards the inspiring achievements of business women, winners and finalists alike, across the country who ‘make it happen’. “Considering we have only been trading for such a short time, I am thrilled we were selected as an inspirational organisation making it happen for women in business in Wales. We intend to be a serious contender for this award again 2016.”  Hob-Nobbing with Politicians at Llani Solar on March 16th  Last Monday we got the opportunity to meet with our Assembly Member Russell George, Liberal Democrat candidate Jane Dodds who is running for office in the 2015 General Election and Glyn Davies the current MP for Montgomeryshire. Armed with our banner and new tree logo, we explained the work we are doing to inspire, support and promote women in business. We also had the opportunity to talk with Philip Bowen the current High Sheriff of Powys. All our local politicians were extremely supportive of what we are doing and we intend to stay up on their radar. LIKE us on Facebook  We've got 201 Likes on Facebook and our followers are growing.
