8th January 2025: Eva Thorne of Richmond, London has been named one of the UK's most impressive female entrepreneurs by Small Business Britain's 'f:Entrepreneur #IAlso100' campaign.
Eva Thorne, who founded The Garden of Eva in 2021, is being profiled among 100 inspirational female entrepreneurs from across the country, as part of the campaign to celebrate the multi-achievements of women running businesses in the UK today.
The f:Entrepreneur '#IAlso100' line-up particularly showcases trailblazing female founders who lead purpose-driven businesses alongside a roster of other responsibilities, such as volunteering, mentoring and community support.
Indeed, Eva was also called out for her award-winning products, two of which contribute to lowering food waste, which is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions.
On being featured in the #ialso100 lineup, Eva said: "I'm absolutely delighted and incredibly humbled to be named to this list of ambitious, mission-driven, powerful women entrepreneurs. We are important contributors to the UK economy. Also, girls need role models and the women on this list provide them.
Launched in 2017 by Small Business Britain – the leading champion of small businesses in the UK - the f:Entrepreneur campaign aims to raise greater awareness of the impact of incredible female business owners across the country, and help provide inspiration and role models to the wider small business community.
The campaign offers a host of events, training, and networking opportunities to boost skills, capability, and confidence.
"It's wonderful to have Eva from The Garden of Eva feature in this year's #IAlso100 – all of the female entrepreneurs in this year's line-up are simply phenomenal," said Michelle Ovens CBE, founder of Small Business Britain.
"It is vital that we recognise the impressive contribution of the UK's female business owners and do all we can to support and encourage them throughout their entrepreneurial journey, from start-up to scale-up. As well as making a huge economic contribution to the UK, female entrepreneurs also create a wider positive impact that ripples across society and local communities too."
