The BFIIN awards, organised by Bola Olabisi, were absolutely fantastic. Fifty great women inventors all under one roof... what more could you want?!!
The range of inventions on show were amazing. I was alongside Sharon Wright who has invented MagnaMole, an ingenious device for enabling cables to be threaded easily through cavity walls and Emilienne Rebel, who had designed a stunning range of hats, Bold Beanies, for people with hair loss. Close by was Cally Robson, who has launched an innovative website, She's Ingenious!, aimed at coaching and supporting women with new product ideas and inventions. Their websites are definitely worth checking out as they are truly inspirational ladies.
The evening awards gala was a fabulous spectacle and I was honoured with a Special Recognition Award for easidream, which is superb.
The overall winner was Denise Anstey with Slik Stick, a revolutionary new concept based around the idea of a walking stick. Denise can be seen in the photo receiving her award from Bola....well done Denise!
I came away from Cardiff totally inspired, re-energised and buzzing with positive energy. I can't wait to get back to work on easidream and I have a whole host of new people I can now call on for help and advice.
Thank you Bola.
