Vanarama Sponsors Best Tradeswomen

Women already represent nearly 6% of tradespeople in the UK and that number looks set to grow.

Commercial vehicle leasing firm Vanarama is keen to recognise the hard work and dedication shown by our national tradeswomen, and has chosen to sponsor the Best Tradeswoman category in this year’s Best Business Woman Awards 2015.The award is open to any women working in a trade, from plumbers to gardeners, to electricians to builders, anywhere in the UK. All that is asked of the entrant is to demonstrate why they and their customers think their business is the best.

As the UK’s leading provider of commercial vehicles, Vanarama works with tradespeople on a daily basis. With 50% of its management team female, it certainly leads by example in supporting diversity in business.Andy Alderson, MD of Vanarama explains why the company jumped at the chance of sponsoring the Best Tradeswoman Award 2015:“It’s fantastic to see the growth of women in trades. It’s clear that women now represent a significant, if still small, proportion of the trades sector and with the growing UK economy, this trend for female tradespeople looks set to continue. We thought it was about time the nation recognised
the vital and increasing role women are making in trades today. By sponsoring this award we can showcase some of the best tradeswomen in the country,helping them to boost their business potential too.”Full details of how to enter the Best Tradeswoman Award 2015 can be found online at
