Commonwealth Business Women Awards

UKABC is proud to be sponsoring the annual Commonwealth Businesswomen Awards this year. on the 18th of April 2018, at the Mayfair hotel will host an award show that focuses on the achievements of women from the commonwealth, with awards including 'Entrepreneur of the Year' and 'Publication of the Year', the program aims to encourage women from all walks of life to pour their passions into creating fruitful businesses and excelling beyond their own expectations.

It is a celebration of the power of women in business.

For further information please visit cbwawards.org Participation packages are still available, for tickets please contact: executive.assisstant@ukabc.co.uk The event aims to commend their accomplishments but also challenges the lack of geographic diversity and inclusiveness evident in the multitudes of International Women Achievement Awards with one powerful message: the Commonwealth’s women need to be celebrated and women’s economic empowerment has to be prioritised, pushed and praised.

The wider significance of Commonwealth Business Women Awards lies in the relationships behind the activity.

The Council’s role is therefore best understood through the quality of the conversations created and the follow-up those conversations make possible. For businesses and institutions, events in the Delegations programme provide a structured setting in which to understand priorities before making commitments. Participants can hear different perspectives, test assumptions and identify where a credible introduction may be useful.

This approach is especially important in international work, where local context, trust and clarity often determine whether an initial discussion develops into a sustainable relationship. The programme also contributes to UKABC’s public record. Documenting the people involved, the subjects discussed and the intended outcomes helps future partners understand the Council’s experience.

It gives search engines and readers a clearer account of the organisation’s work while preserving the history of relationships that may continue across several years or projects. UKABC approaches relationship-building as a practical responsibility rather than a ceremonial exercise.

The objective is to help organisations move from interest to informed action: understanding the opportunity, meeting relevant people and agreeing a realistic next step. That principle is reflected in the way the Council combines business discussion with direct introductions, clear context and continuing engagement.

For prospective participants, the value of Commonwealth Business Women Awards is not limited to attendance on the day. The lasting opportunity comes from the insight gained, the credibility of the connections made and the possibility of future collaboration. UKABC continues to develop this work through roundtables, business events, international partnerships, community initiatives and carefully selected recognition programmes.
