PIONEERING Director of Motor Marketing (MMUK), Shevani Wilson, is set to add to an ever-growing list of accolades.
The Dynamic Awards 2024, the region’s major businesswomen award scheme, sees Shevani shortlisted for both CEO of the Year and Businesswoman of the Year.
The awards recognise the accomplishments of businesswomen across the South East and are made up of 16 categories in various industries and sectors, including sustainability, innovation, start-ups, construction and others.
There is a rigorous judging process with several interviews to decide who will make the shortlist.
Shevani took sole charge of Motor Marketing after the sad passing of her husband, Ewan, and has ensured his legacy lives on through the continued success of the business founded from their kitchen table in 2014.
The team at MMUK are no strangers to success, with a long list of previous award nominations and wins.
These include nominations for Advanced Apprentice of the Year and Employer of the Year, a highly commended award for Intermediate Apprentice of the Year and a win for Intermediate Apprentice of the Year at the 2023 Inaugural News and Observer Apprenticeship Awards.
MMUK was also shortlisted in three categories at the Portsmouth News Business Excellence earlier this year. These were for Shenavi in the Entrepreneur of the Year award category, Team Leader Lilly Nicholas for Apprentice/Trainee of the Year and the business itself for Medium Business of the Year.
Set up in 2022, The Dynamic Awards’ first year remained local to Sussex, with the awards extending their reach to include Surrey and Hampshire last year.
This year’s event will be hosted by comedian and TV star, Suzi Ruffell and will take place at The Grand Hotel in Brighton on Tuesday, April 30th. It provides an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of businesswomen while inspiring the next generation of female entrepreneurs.
Shevani says:
“Being shortlisted in two categories for The Dynamic Awards this year is truly an honour. This recognition not only validates our hard work and dedication but also underscores the significance of female leadership and entrepreneurship in South East England. This event serves as a platform to showcase the invaluable contributions of women in business, highlighting their acumen, innovation, and resilience.
“As we celebrate this achievement, it’s important to recognise the broader impact of female leadership. It’s about breaking barriers, inspiring others, and driving positive change in our communities and industries. By being nominated alongside remarkable women, I am reminded of the powerful role models that exist and the impact they have on future generations.
“As a mother, I am particularly proud to be nominated alongside women whom I consider great role models for my daughter. Their achievements serve as a source of inspiration and empowerment, showing her the endless possibilities that lie ahead and the importance of pursuing her dreams fearlessly.
“The Dynamic Awards not only celebrate individual accomplishments but also symbolise a collective commitment to fostering diversity, equality, and excellence in the business world. This recognition motivates us to continue pushing boundaries, championing inclusivity, and paving the way for a more equitable future.
