Laura Bevan, Founder and Chair of Fortuna Female Society, told That's Business: “We saw over 170 nominations come in last year.
"That tells you everything about what’s happening across Halton. There are women running things, supporting others, building businesses and showing up every day. Most of them go unrecognised.
You will already have a woman in mind who deserves a crown. Put her name forward. And don’t stop at one.”
