Creative wedding photographer Elizabeth Donovan was presented with the Business of the Year award in The Whitewed Directory Awards from industry expert, and keynote speaker of the evening, Sara Tye.
Elizabeth Donovan’s entry was chosen as the winner by an independent judging panel, made up of three highly respected industry professionals, including Sara Tye. She received her award on 1 February 2018 at the Doubletree by Hilton Swindon.
Sara Tye is an
award-winning business and organisational development expert, a top 500
international PR, and serial entrepreneur. She is the founder and managing director
of redheadPR, chair of Swindon Triathlon Club and a top business development
mentor.
The Whitewed Directory is a definitive directory
of recommended and trusted wedding suppliers designed to help customers plan
and organise their wedding day. The Whitewed Directory Awards were launched in
June 2017 to highlight and support the best wedding service suppliers working
in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
As keynote speaker of the evening, Sara shared
her own experiences and her "life long journey". Sara spoke of her
inspiration and drive from 15 years old until now, her ups and downs and how
she manages her life and achievements.
Sara explained: "I was most impressed by Elizabeth's entry. She
single-handedly runs every aspect of her business. Not only is she running a
successful business, she is also a mum. I know the difficultly of
juggling all this and the discipline needed to remain focused and grow a
business. Elizabeth has demonstrated that she always goes the extra mile and
has an exceptional eye for attention to detail."
Elizabeth Donovan’s approach during her six
years of trading has been photographing weddings in a natural way. She
initially built her customers from wedding fayres but now gets around half her
bookings simply through her fantastic reputation among past couples and
suppliers she has worked with over the years.
Elizabeth has been fully booked for the past
four years. Her bookings are boosted by enquiries from online channels and
referrals from her professional and information-paked website. This reflects
her creative and open approach, including regularly updated blog pieces,
supplier connections and search engine optimisation.
Elizabeth Donovan’s award was one of four to be
presented on the night. Winners were announced for Business Person of the Year
2017, as well as recognition for the Most Inspiring Business Person of the Year
2017 and the region's Start-up Business of the Year 2017.
