"The support, messages and calls I have received from clients voting for me and giving me their feedback on my service has been fantastic and I am incredibly proud of my business."

Ms Watson became aware of the awards through a member of the Mums in Business group, a support network for mothers in the industry who went on to nominate her for the award. 

She added: "They were so supportive and really genuinely proud of me. It was lovely to see."

The Women’s Business Awards features more than 20 categories including Businesswoman of the Year, Employer of the Year and a Diversity & Inclusion Award.
