Last week I attended the Sheffield Star Business Awards. I was shortlisted for Entrepreneur of the Year, but never did I think that I would actually win. The event was black tie and I felt like a fish out of water as I stepped into the champagne reception and a buzzing crowd of the business gentry dressed in tuxedos with their well practised partners. My husband stayed at home to look after the children and I was the only attendee alone. What an evening! I was presented my award by Lord Norman Lamont. I felt very emotional and very pleased. I was up against two other female entrepreneurs who ran established businesses with high turnovers. The presenter said "That although they are a young business, they show great innovation and as long as we continue to create new products, then there was great potential for growth and success!" And ladies and gentlemen, I have been hard at work in the kitchen doing exactly that. I can't wait to unveil our new products and marshmallow range. This is a job I love to do and with the support of my family and customers, I hope to keep on doing it and do it well!
