THE Daily Echo has been a great supporter of the Venus Awards from when it first came to Southampton and the SO postal region in 2011.
This year we are sponsoring the popular public vote category Business Mother of the Year, that pays homage to the extraordinary role played by women not only in the workplace but as working mothers.
The semi-finalists are:
Laura Bowyer – Employment Matters
Sharon Dawson – Eye Candy
Melissa Edmunds – Zinch Designs
Verity Edwards – Southampton Pamper Parties and the Pink Room
Marie Haverly – Isabella Weddings
Kerry Herdman – Urban Eden Beauty Ltd
Caroline Payne – Maraka Jacks Ltd
Marie-Claire Prettyman – The Movement Specialist
Lucy Shrimpton – The Sleep Nanny
Victoria Vickery – V:Squared
Marketing Video clips of the 10 can be viewed and voted for on the Venus Awards website at https://www.venusawards.co.uk/southampton/
Voting closes at midnight on Tuesday, January 26.
The three semi-finalists who have received the most public votes will be revealed along with other categories at the Finalists Announcement on Thursday, February 11 at the Botleigh Grange Hotel in Hedge End.
