Wealden MP Nus Ghani has congratulated Maria Mann of the Beauty Spot in Uckfield on winning the Business Woman of the Year Awards at the Uckfield Business Awards 2018.
The award recognises the special contributions of business women across Uckfield, with Lucy Ritchie of Blush Beauty Room and Rachel Watkyn of Tiny Box Company the runners up.
Nus presented the award to Maria during the award dinner, which took place at the East Sussex National Hotel, with more than 300 Uckfield business heavyweights in attendance. The Awards were hosted by Gary King of Uckfield FM and Jan Edwards of the Marketing Eye.
Nus Ghani, MP for Wealden, said: “Congratulations to Maria for winning the Business Woman of the Year Award at the Uckfield Business Awards 2018.
“Maria’s hard work at the Beauty Spot has offered invaluable opportunities to young people in the form of work experience, apprenticeships and training, as well as her contributions to the community through charity work and fundraisers.
“Her dedication and passion for her work shone through in the judging, and she is a worthy winner.
“Thank you to everyone who helped organise the awards, it was an honour to present the Business Woman of the Year Award, although picking only one winner was difficult in such a strong field!”
