Welcome to VERCIDA website.
Skip to main contentThe NatWest everywoman Awards are the UK’s most prestigious awards for female enterprise. For 14 years these annual awards have identified and championed the women behind Britain’s most successful businesses, from promising start-ups in their early years of trading to established international companies. These women are the epitome of entrepreneurial excellence whose companies’ combined turnovers amount to over £47million.
The UK is seen as one of the most attractive countries for business[1] reflected by the surge in entrepreneurship in Britain in recent years[2]. Despite these encouraging signs, the numbers of women-led start-ups remain significantly lower than that of men. Both everywoman and the Women’s Business Council separately undertook research in 2016 with each concluding that role models play a vital part in encouraging and inspiring women to further their professional aspirations[3]. The winners of these awards will do just that – they set an example to other women and demonstrate what can be achieved with vision and determination
