We are extremely proud to announce the Finalists of the 2022 Women’s Business Awards and excited to see our very own Rachel Boswell listed for the Customer Excellence Award!

For the past decade, these Awards have recognised the top businesswomen from across the country. They shine a light on the outstanding achievements and successes of women who have started a business as well as women who are advancing in their careers.

Founder and CEO, Angela De Souza says, “I am always amazed at the impact that our Women’s Business Conference & Awards has on individuals, businesses and the county in general.
