Caerphilly Business Forum Awards Winner Stories ​​

"If you believe in it do it, take the chance, be brave, be strong, always ask for help you will never succeed unless you try and fight for success. Nobody is going to hand it to you on a plate it takes sacrifice, hard work, long hours and all of your money… but the rewards when success comes is amazing. 

I was so pleased we won a highly commended award last year, so this topped it off, being a woman in business is tough, especially when you don’t have an academic business background. So, winning for me is like winning for all woman who wish to achieve!"
