Savvitas

Today, we celebrate a remarkable group of #MPHERoes – Liz Warner, Vik Anderson #CharlotteHillenbrand & Gail Sulkes, co-founders of DifferentKind, championed by Manuela Perteghella MP – Stratford-on-Avon! ?? Different Kind is transforming the way we approach giving, offering an ethical marketplace where every purchase creates positive change. With their commitment to sustainability and social impact, these visionary women show that business can be a powerful force for good. On 18th March we're at the House of Lords for an interactive roundtable on ‘Trading for Growth’. The #MPHSummit will be a space for sharing top tips, strategies, and insights on scaling and success. The live event is full, but there's still an opportunity to join us online to be part of this inspiring conversation. Through MP HERoes, we connect exceptional women entrepreneurs with their MPs, opening doors and bringing well-deserved recognition to their achievements. Let’s continue championing the brilliant women shaping the future of business. #MPHERoes Savvitas in partnership with NatWest Business highlights women business owners across the UK championed by their MP.

?? Happy International Women's Day! ?? #IWD is a time to reflect, acknowledge, and celebrate women, something we at Savvitas do 24/7, 365 days a year. Women working together to create a world that recognises the huge contribution of women, each and every day. ? Today, everyone’s attention turns to the positive impact women make to all aspects of society and life.?With this year’s IWD theme of #AccelerateAction, we celebrate some of the many women on whose shoulders we stand. ?? The Savvitas Roll of Honour personifies women of action, women who have created, campaigned, discovered, educated, explored, invented, innovated, risked, ruled, served, and sacrificed. Outstanding women, women who stepped up and stepped forward, to truly make a difference, women of achievement. Remarkable Women. ?? The Roll of Honour was compiled to commemorate the centenary of IWD back in 2011 when we were 'Pink Shoe' and updated by Savvitas for the next decade in 2021. Each woman included is nominated by a woman, the hardest part was choosing just 10 from each decade. The list could be far longer, we could have included many, many, more remarkable women.... ??
