Organisers of the awards, the Pink Link business networking group, said this year’s EVAS finalists were women who had shown exceptional talent and who deserved recognition for their impressive work.
From founders of global empires to micro businesses and social enterprises serving communities, a diverse range of local businesses are represented.
They include a packaging manufacturer and precision engineer, a plant based lifestyle app, natural soap makers, haulage and transport services, clothing retailers and home care services.

Coral Horn, founder of Pink Link said: “With the support of all our allies, we would like to acknowledge every single woman involved – nominees, entrants and finalists.
“You fill us with admiration and make us more determined than ever to shine the spotlight on the talented women in the region.”
“We recently heard that the EVAS are now the UK’s largest business awards dedicated solely to women. It’s a testament to how highly these awards are prized within the business community and reflects the enterprise of the women in the region.
Previous EVA winner and sponsor of the #EVAS2022 Charity of the Year Award, Jane Cole , managing director of Blackpool Transport, said: “We admire the resilience of women who do great work by loving what they do!”.
Each finalist in the Charity category is gifted a free ticket to attend the awards ceremony to help them raise the profile and much needed funds for their cause.
The judges have whittled down a shortlist for each of the eighteen categories.
Now, finalists will attend an interview with the judges where they will showcase their achievements and share their stories of growth, impact and their visions for the future.
Heather Waters, NatWest’s Regional Ecosystem Manager for the North West, said: “We are delighted to be the headline sponsor of this year’s EVAs for the ninth year running. It’s vital that we continue to recognise the hard work and achievements made by women from across our communities in the North West, and we look forward to celebrating with the finalists.”
Last year’s Retail winner, Merseyside’s Rebecca McCann of the Pro Blo Group and Sleep.London said: “For me, the connections and relationships that come from winning Retail Industry at the EVAs has been a real positive.
“The community the EVA’s has built is so empowering and supportive. I am incredibly grateful to be part of it. Not to mention being able to tell a room full of women that we have the hair tool they never knew they needed!”
All finalists will be in the running for the Outstanding Achievement Award which has previously been won by police whistle blower and campaigner for victims of sexual abuse, Maggie Oliver.
Other winners included, Susanna Lawson founder of the UK’s leading elearning portfolio OneFile and Jane Hugo of Streetlife for her work in tackling youth homelessness in Blackpool.
The awards ceremony will be on Friday, September 23, at the Winter Gardens, Blackpool.
