Congratulations, Devon Women in Business!

Devon Women In Business (#DWIB) is a membership network for women working across the county of Devon, providing support and celebrating their achievements through women-only networking events, workshops and the annual DWIB Awards.

Earlier this month we saw the Devon Women In Business Awards 2024 happen – with lots of  Awards given out, including to Becki Higgins, Female Sole Trader/Freelancer of the Year 2024.

The special news is that last year’s Sole Trader award went to Sidmouth businesswoman Eleanor Carr of Unique Boutique Events – and here she is handing Becki this year’s prize:

As Eleanor says:

Last year I won sole trader of the year at Devon Women in Business awards, and last night I had the honour of presenting that award to Becki. What an amazing night, and a brilliant bunch of women (and their support acts too).
