Nottinghamshire Live editor Natalie Fahy said now more than ever we should be celebrating our female captains of industry – from the CEOs and finance bosses of our top companies, to high-flying career accountants and lawyers, “mumpreneurs” and entrepreneurs, with the awards highlighting the achievements of a vast range of businesswomen from across the county.
