MPHeroes is a scheme designed to champion female entrepreneurs, to establish a national pool pf local, relatable role models for women in business and stimulate female entrepreneurship that has been running since 2020.
Last week I attended their 2023 celebration event alongside my nominated HERo for last year, Sarah Nelson. It was great to hear Sarah talking about her journey into business, the triumph of distilling an award winning gin in her first year, but also being very real about the challenges she has encountered along the way.
I make no secret of The River Test Distillery being one of my very favourite local businesses, but it is much more than just great gin. I have no doubt Sarah will go from one success to the next, but along the way she is also acting as a role model to other women which is absolutely fantastic.
