Carla Lockhart MP • November 28, 2023

DUP MP Carla Lockhart has called for local women to not miss out on the 2024 Women in Business Awards. The Upper Bann representative said that so many inspiring local businesswomen would be worthy nominees for the awards, and encouraged applications.

Carla Lockhart said:

“As I am out and about in Upper Bann I meet so many amazing, inspiring businesswomen. There are so many industry leaders, so many entrepreneurs, all of whom are wonderful examples of women achieving in the world of business.

The Women in Business Awards celebrate, reward and acknowledge the hard work and achievements of some of the most successful, entrepreneurial and inspiring women across Northern Ireland. I would love to see local women nominated for the Women in Business Awards 2024. What a showcase local nominees would be for all women in Upper Bann who are succeeding in the highly competitive world of business.

If anyone would like more information on the process of application, please do not hesitate to get in touch.”
