Bondholders among Women Awards finalists

A trio of Marketing Derby Bondholders have been shortlisted for the annual Enterprising Women Awards, which are organised by East Midlands Chamber.

From social commitment to innovation, the awards recognise the best of the region’s female business talent.

Now, the finalists across nine categories have been announced, with the winners crowned at a gala dinner to be held in Leicestershire on 26 September.

Among this year’s finalists is Hannah Livingstone, of Rolls-Royce, who has been shortlisted for Apprentice of the Year, and Charlie Dean, of Catering24, who is up for Businesswoman of the Year.

Meanwhile, Blu Hardy, from Hardy Signs, is shortlisted in the Developing Leader category.

Speaking about her nomination, Blu said: “This nomination was important to me because I’ve been doing a lot of work on myself – I’m not a natural born leader, but I’ve been doing a lot of work with business coaches, shadowing business mentors to get a rounded view on what it means to be a leader and what it means to be a leader in my own eyes.”
