The Maven Awards
A uplifting night to celebrate Winchester’s finest female entrepreneurial talent. Hosted by Maven at The Theatre Royal Winchester these awards are open to all Winchester Women in Business (not just Mavens!)
Hi, I’m Natalie, Founder of Maven Coworking in Winchester and Creator of the Maven Awards! I feel passionately that there is a big gap in celebrating the inspirational wealth of female entrepreneurial talent that we have here in this wonderful city.
So say hello to ‘The Mavens’ a night dedicated towards red carpet style, uplifting entertainment and shining a light on the finest Winchester women in business.
