The Small Business Britain campaign aims to raise awareness of female business owners across the country, and help provide inspiration and role models to the wider small business community.

Founder Michelle Ovens said: “It is so important we call out the incredible contribution of women running businesses across the UK.

“As well as growing economic prosperity across the UK, they are also having a tremendous, wider positive impact on local communities too.

“Despite all of the challenges of recent times, it is fantastic to see female entrepreneurship continuing to grow and flourish in the UK, and we must do all we can to encourage and build this further.”
