Too many businesses shy away from awards, perhaps they don’t feel they should self-nominate, they are not willing to put the time into an entry form or they don’t want to pay the event fee to attend the finals event. We are passionate about awards at Women’s Business Club because we have seen how much they make a difference in so many ways and know the true value, even of a free nomination!
