Celebrating, Connecting and Championing Women in Business
For over a decade, Woman Who has been helping women in business gain recognition, increase their visibility, build meaningful connections and celebrate their achievements.
Through our nationally recognised awards, networking events, community initiatives and franchise opportunities, we create opportunities for women to be seen, heard and remembered.
Whether you’re looking to enter an award, expand your network, become a sponsor or bring Woman Who to your local area, you’re in the right place.
Woman Who is a community and awards platform dedicated to recognising and supporting women in business across the UK.
Founded by Sandra Garlick MBE, our mission is simple:
To create women in business role models by celebrating success, encouraging visibility and inspiring the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
Since launching in 2016, Woman Who has supported thousands of women through awards, networking, collaborations, events and opportunities designed to help them grow both personally and professionally.
