Jacqueline Winstanley FRSA, a global disruptor, entrepreneur and champion for accessibility to life's opportunities, has been nominated for the Entrepreneur of Excellence Award in this year's National Diversity Awards 2020.
This year's awards are planned to take place on 25th September at an event that will recognise nominees in their respective fields of diversity; including age, disability, gender, race, faith, religion and sexual orientation.
As Jacqueline Winstanley said,' I am equally honoured and delighted to accept the nomination and to be listed among such an inspiring and amazing group of individuals for this year's awards. I am committed to my work as a disabled entrepreneur, as the founder of Universal Inclusion, and The Inclusive Entrepreneur Network, which I started in 2013. I have worked with inclusive entrepreneurs from all walks of life and industries, and the results and their successes are phenomenal. This nomination reflects that work and inspires me to continue in my quest to find innovative and sustainable solutions for individuals, companies and spaces where there are barriers which prevent access to life's opportunities.
