ENTREPRENEUR Jill Rowbotham has been recognised by British businesswoman, Jacqueline Gold CBE, for her success in business, and awarded with a prestigious #WOW badge.
Jill was one of three winners selected by Jacqueline after she entered ‘Women on Wednesday’ – a competition launched by Jacqueline in 2011 to celebrate the growing number of UK female entrepreneurs and businesswomen.
Women on Wednesday (#WOW) takes place every week and is run through Jacqueline’s Twitter page. When selecting the winners, Jacqueline looks for businesses that are interesting, that have strong brand values and that she thinks have potential to grow and succeed in their industry. She looks for quality products and services, well designed websites and entrepreneurs who demonstrate good business acumen and who have spotted a gap in the market that meets the consumer’s needs.
Jill said, “I set up Livvy and Rose last year and I still work as a part-time graphic designer alongside running my business. This year I was a finalist in the Inspire Women’s Awards and I also won the Theo Paphitis #SBS Twitter award so it’s been a fantastic few months for my business. It is great to have recognition from Jacqueline and I’m thrilled to be one of her #WOW Award winners.”
Jacqueline said: ‘Livvy and Rose provides gorgeous fashion items for both ladies and young girls. With a mixture of clothes and accessories, Livvy and Rose offers an array of high quality products that don’t necessarily have to come with a big price tag! I wish Jill every success in the future.
"For me, #WOW is all about inspiring and celebrating female entrepreneurs.
"My vision is for women in the UK to come together, celebrate their strengths, skills and fantastic businesses, and do all that they can to inspire other women to realise their potential.
"The WOW community is a fantastic network which offers female entrepreneurs the opportunity to share advice, support each other, trade and most importantly celebrate their successes!”
