Women Of The Year!

Friday 30th November.


Last night the 'Everything but the Girl' team attended a glamorous awards ceremony, to celebrate the success and achievements of women, across the West Sussex area. 

The Women of the Year awards ceremony was run by Johnston Press South Events in association with the Mumpreneurs Networking club and took place at the Avisford Park Hotel, in Arundel.

 The evening began with a champagne reception, which was the perfect chance to meet like minded people and to exchange stories about the journey behind the nomination. We met some amazing people and it was the perfect opportunity to network amongst local businesses.


There were a vast array of categories and some truly inspirational people attended the event, sharing their stories of hope, inspiration, courage and triumph!
It was just unfortunate that only one person could win each category!




After the champagne reception we were seated at our tables, where a bag filled with goodies from the supporting sponsors and local businesses, sat waiting for us.
The goody-bag was filled to the brim with discounts, sweets, vouchers, and many more.

The three course dinner was served swiftly, and i have to praise the staff greatly, as they were brilliant at providing our table with alternatives to suit our tables dietary requirements.


Fred Dinenage was the evenings host and he took the time to talk to each winner, finding out a little about their journey and how it felt to them to be nominated, and how it felt when he announced that they had won.


AND GUESS WHAT!
