Horsham based Suzie Sawyer, a Nutritionist, has been appointed as Women’s Enterprise Ambassador by the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA).

She joins a network of 100 individuals across the South East who have been recruited to act as role-models for women and to promote the benefits of being in business.  This network will help raise the profile of women’s enterprise and its importance to the South East economy.

The South East network forms part of a nationwide initiative featuring more than 1,000 women entrepreneurs, which was launched by Minister Margaret Hodge earlier this year.

Ambassadors are volunteers and will not receive payment for their work within the network.  However, their involvement will afford them opportunities to promote their businesses and influence women’s enterprise policy at local, regional and national level.

Suzie is a Nutritionist at the Evergreens Clinic in Comptons Lane in Horsham.  Her company, Nutrition Lifestyle, offers one-to-one nutritional consultations at the clinic and also visits companies and organisations educating staff on how to eat healthier, lose weight or alleviate stress in the workplace.

Says Suzie,

“I am really looking forward to becoming involved at a grass roots level with SEEDA, helping other women embarking on their business journey to have the confidence and support to succeed”.

The introductory meeting of the South East Women’s Enterprise Ambassadors Network took place recently hosted by Pam Alexander, Chief Executive of SEEDA and Co-Chair of the National Women’s Enterprise Taskforce.

Pam Alexander says:

“Encouraging greater levels of entrepreneurship amongst women is a government priority.  Men are twice as likely as women to set up their own business and women are massively under-represented among the region’s business owners.  The South East Ambassador Network has been created to encourage and support new female entrepreneurs boosting the number of women in business”.
