WEBA Awards

Although I was obviously disappointed not to win the Ethical Entrepreneur of the Year in the WEBA awards on Thursday, I had an amazing evening and met so many women from ethical businesses around the UK. Everybody was incredibly kind and I had a queue of people at the end telling me that they thought ours was the best video of the night! You can watch the video here
I left feeling very proud of my achievements, despite not winning, as I can't ever remember receiving so many wonderful comments about our work before.

Many congratulations to Solitaire Townsend from Futerra Communications who carried off the award on the night.

Hopefully, through being a finalist in the WEBAs, I can continue to inspire the ethical fashion entrepreneurs of the future. In fact, this week we are taking on a new placement student, Lydia Squire, who has just graduated from Derby University. She will be working with us to gain a deeper knowledge of ethical business practice and to put the skills she has learnt during her fashion degree to practical use. So many of the students and graduates who have worked with us have now set up their own ethical fashion labels and it really is a privilege to be in a position to be able to inspire and encourage the designers and makers of future years.
