"I am passionate about supporting, inspiring and empowering women. Llais Cymru's Welsh Women in Business Awards are unlike any other; they're an opportunity to celebrate and recognise the amazing achievements of businesswomen across Wales."

Heulwen Davies, Director of Llais Cymru.

Welcome! The Welsh Women in Business Awards 2023, or #LlaisAwards, is open to any woman running a business here in Wales. Size doesn't matter to us! You might be a one-woman band or the female founder of a huge company. Maybe your business is new or maybe it's been around for half a century - you're all equally amazing!

 

This year, we have 13 categories to reflect the variety of businesses so we can be as fair and accessible as possible. You don't have to nominate a winner in every category, but you can only nominate one person per category. You can also nominate yourself - because why not? You've worked your socks off to get here, so you deserve that nomination!

Nominations are open until the 19th of April at 17:00 GMT.

 

The shortlist will be the women with the highest number of nominations as that's the fairest way in our opinion. We'll be announcing our shortlist, the two women with the highest number of votes, in June.

In the event of a tie occurring in any category, we'll invite the nominees for an online interview with a panel of independent business experts in May.

With support from Yr Egin, Carmarthen, the awards night will be in person for the first time ever this year! The #LlaisAwards 2023 Awards Night will take place on Friday the 7th of July - more details to be revealed soon!

Llais Cymru would like to thank the Development Bank of Wales for being our main sponsor again this year and for their continuted support for business women in Wales.
