BUSINESSWOMAN Sarah Siddons, Principal of Siddons & Co Financial Planning in Ilkley, is celebrating after being shortlisted for Female Entrepreneur of the Year in the Forward Ladies Leadership Summit & Awards 2022.

With this year’s theme being “unstoppable women”, these prestigious national awards recognise and celebrate extraordinary female business leaders who demonstrate “leadership, enterprise, talent, and innovation” and who have “achieved excellence across the UK and beyond.”

Bringing together women from all fields, organizations, industries and backgrounds, the FL Leadership Summit & Awards has become one of the UK’s most recognised and well-attended business awards, with the ceremony taking place on 25th November.

Sarah says: “I am unbelievably proud and delighted to be recognised in the category of Female Entrepreneur. It’s a huge honour to participate in the largest celebration of inspirational women leaders and to be shortlisted amongst such a talented group of amazing women who are all top of their respective fields.”

In 2021, Sarah won Best Businesswoman in Financial Services in the national Best Businesswomen Awards, and in 2020 her practice won Professional Services Business of the Year at the Ilkley Business Awards.
