Lockhart praises local entrepreneur Rhiannon
Carla Lockhart MP • December 12, 2023
Upper Bann MP Carla Lockhart has praised the success of local entrepreneur Rhiannon Woolsey, who has been behind the amazing rise of the Rhiannon’s Cakes and Bakes and who recently won the Business of the Year at the Northern Ireland Women’s Awards 2023.
Carla Lockhart said:
"Any time you have the chance to meet Rhiannon Woolsey, a remarkable female entrepreneur, it is an absolute privilege.
Her passion and dedication to establishing a successful bakery are truly commendable. Witnessing her achievements first-hand reinforces the importance of supporting and celebrating women in business. Rhiannon has had great success, but continues to stay modest and true to her beliefs for her business.
Rhiannon's story serves as inspiration, highlighting the immense potential and contributions of women entrepreneurs within our society. We have many other wonderful examples across Upper Bann of women doing amazing things in business and it is certainly something I love to see, and to celebrate.”
