The Women’s Business Awards 2024 have concluded their landmark celebration, recognising extraordinary women and businesses from around the globe.

This year, 300 finalists from 92 countries competed across 21 categories, showcasing unparalleled talent, innovation, and leadership. Last night, the annual awards ceremony was streamed live from a studio in Cheltenham, UK, celebrating the very best of UK businesswomen in a dynamic online event.

Michelle John, from Shropshire-based non-profit organisation PEGS, a social enterprise that supports parental figures who are experiencing abusive behaviours from their child, emerged as a standout winner. Her dedication, creativity, and exceptional impact in her field captured the judges’ attention, earning her this prestigious accolade amidst stiff competition.

Michelle said “It’s an honour to receive this recognition. This award is not just a reflection of my work, but also the incredible support from our team, our partners, and the community who we support who inspire me every day.”

Angela De Souza, Founder and CEO of Women’s Business Club, expressed her admiration for this year’s winners.

“There is nothing quite like celebrating the accomplishments of our businesswomen. This year, we received some truly outstanding entries, making the judges’ decisions incredibly challenging. While only one woman could win in each category, every entrant is a winner. Each woman stands tall, remains determined to succeed, and carries hope for the future—a true winning attitude. I am immensely proud of all the remarkable individuals in business who continue to strive for excellence and inspire those around them.”

The Women’s Business Awards provides a platform to celebrate and amplify the voices of women in business, inspiring future generations of leaders and changemakers. For more information on Michelle John and PEGS visit www.pegsupport.co.uk or connect with them on social media by searching PEGS support
