Over 250 of London’s top businesswomen gathered at The Waldorf Hilton, London, for a glamourous three course meal and entertainment to celebrate the winners of the 2018 London Venus Awards on the 3rd December 2018.
17 women were announced as winners of a coveted Venus award during the ceremony, including Inspirational Woman of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year and Outstanding CEO. Since May, applicants and nominees have been whittled down through a combination of panel judges and public voting before the final winners were announced.
The Venus Awards, dubbed by Channel 4 as “The Working Women’s Oscars”, celebrate the vital contribution that women in business make to the local, regional, and national economy, and are unique in that anyone can nominate a friend, client or family member.
