Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding - October/November 2022 (Issue 35)

The 2022 Women’s Business Awards Finalists were recently announced and the talented team at Gloucestershire-based The Vanilla Pod Bakery were shortlisted in the Customer Excellent Category. For the past decade, these awards have recognised the top businesswomen from across the country. They shine a light on the outstanding achievements and successes of women who have started a business as well as those who are advancing in their careers. Founder and CEO, Angela De Souza says, “I am always amazed at the impact that our Women’s Business Conference & Awards has on individuals, businesses and the county in general. Something ‘special’ happens when we meet. We get down to business but we do it by forming bonds and relationships that we can draw from in the months and years ahead.” The winners will be judged by an independent voting panel and will be announced at the Women’s Business Conference in Cheltenham on 5th October. The event, which is being sponsored by multi-asset social investment network eToro, will see businesswomen from all over England come together to connect, network, share expertise, listen to inspirational talks and attend 1-to-1 workshops. This year’s keynote speaker will be Rupal Patel, author of From CIA to CEO.
