“The continued support of our sponsors year-on-year, and the addition of two new high-profile sponsors in The Loop and Acushnet, shows how serious the industry is about retaining and attracting female talent, comments Founder of the Awards Nicole Wheatley.
“I am proud to be able to provide a platform for these women to shine and meet one another and am already looking forward to seeing the event come together this November.”
For anyone wanting to attend the awards, the ballot for tickets is still open on the website, alongside a waiting list for a small number of paid tickets that will be made available later in the year.
