On July 22nd 2021, the National Business Women’s Awards 2020/21 event was held at the Hilton, Wembley, and saw business women from across the UK coming together to support and celebrate each other’s achievements in this annual awards ceremony.

There are 20 categories in total in these national awards and Rothamsted Enterprises CEO, Nicole Sadd, was named as a finalist in two: ‘Corporate Leader of the Year’ and ‘Business Woman of the Year (Small Business – £1m-10m turnover)’.

Nicole faced some serious competition from a number of women business leaders and was delighted to be named as the winner in the Corporate Leader of the Year category.

This category is open to women in business who demonstrate being a proven leader in their organisation and brand category. Nominees demonstrate outstanding leadership, and a track record of building sales and profitability whilst energising and inspiring the people who report to them.

Nicole commented: “It’s taken a while to sink in. It was totally unexpected! I was up against some serious competition and I am absolutely delighted to have been named as winner in the Corporate Leader of the Year category. This achievement is great news, both for myself and my great team and I am proud to represent Rothamsted and women in business generally. The pandemic has been a hugely challenging time for us all and leading Rothamsted Enterprises – a hospitality business and innovation campus – during this time required huge focus, resilience and determination. It is a real honour to receive this award.”  

We would like to offer our congratulations to Nicole on a well deserved award win!
