The UK’s largest celebration of women in business!
Women in Business Awards in the UK
The Enterprise Vision Awards celebrate the achievements, ambition and impact of women in business across the UK.
For more than fifteen years, the awards have recognised female founders, leaders and entrepreneurs who are building outstanding businesses and driving change across industries. From early-stage startups to high-growth enterprises and social ventures, the EVAS shine a spotlight on women whose work is shaping the future of the UK economy.
Each year, women from across the country step forward to share their stories, their journeys and the businesses they are building. The awards recognise innovation, leadership, growth and purpose, celebrating women who are making a difference in their sectors and communities.
Why women in business awards matter
Recognition plays an important role in building confidence, credibility and visibility.
For many finalists and winners, being recognised through the EVAS becomes a turning point in their business journey. It opens doors to new partnerships, new markets and new opportunities, while also inspiring other women to step forward and pursue their ambitions.
Women in business awards also help to highlight the contribution female entrepreneurs make to the UK economy, celebrating leadership across sectors including technology, finance, creative industries, life sciences, retail, professional services and more.
A national platform for women entrepreneurs
The Enterprise Vision Awards have grown into one of the UK’s most recognised platforms celebrating women in business.
Entrepreneurs, founders and business leaders from across the country enter the awards each year, sharing their stories of resilience, innovation and growth.
The awards bring together a powerful community of women who support and champion one another, creating connections that last long after the awards ceremony itself.
Through regional events, national recognition and a growing network of supporters and partners, the EVAS continue to champion women who are building businesses that create impact.
From recognition to opportunity
While the Enterprise Vision Awards celebrate success, the journey doesn’t stop there.
Many women tell us that the biggest barriers to growth are not ambition or capability, but access. Access to buyers, supply chains, investors and the networks where opportunities are created.
That is why the EVAS community continues to evolve, creating new ways to connect women-led businesses with the people and organisations who can help them grow.
One of these initiatives is the SheChain, a developing platform focused on helping women-led businesses access commercial opportunities, partnerships and supply chains.
Together, these initiatives help ensure that recognition becomes momentum, opening doors to the next stage of growth.

The Enterprise Vision Awards are open to women across the UK who are building and growing businesses.
