Sara Tye, founder and managing director of redheadPR, has been shortlisted for two prestigious regional business awards. She is in line to potentially scoop both the Female Entrepreneur of the Year and Lifetime of Achievement titles in this year’s South West Business and Community Awards. Being shortlisted reflect years of hard work for this industry innovator, who said she's delighted to even be in the running.
"It’s been an incredible journey and it’s wonderful to be recognised. Being shortlisted for the Lifetime of Achievement award is hugely humbling. It’s come as, this year, redheadPR celebrates 15 years in business. I have worked relentlessly for the past 30 years and it's been tough; from fighting to keep my business going through the 2008 crash, to moving back to Swindon from London. I'm truly amazed to be shortlisted for both of these amazing awards." Sara said.
Sara is a business and organisational development expert with more than three decades of communications expertise in driving campaigns for brands such as BT, Thames Water and Green & Black’s. She is an acclaimed top 500 international PR who was a finalist in the first Cosmopolitan Women of the Year Awards in 1999. Sara's well-rounded resume also boasts Chair of Swindon Triathlon Club, Patron of Christ Church, and Vice Chair of Old Town Business and Professional Association.
Over 250 business people will be in attendance on 24 January 2019 for a fabulous evening of recognition and celebration at The DoubleTree by Hilton, Swindon. This event kicks off a great start to the year for all nominees, while winners will be able to proudly showcase their awards throughout 2019.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is for individuals recognised within their particular field as having made an outstanding contribution to the region.
Meanwhile, Female Entrepreneur of The Year award is open to any female within the South West. Nominees may have set up their own business, played a leading role within an organisation, or have had a business directorship or leadership role in the area.
