Managing director of HSE Advice UK Ashley Walker received the 2025 EVAS award for Customer Service at Blackpool's Winter Gardens.
This recognition celebrates the team’s unwavering commitment to excellence, empathy, and innovation in customer service in the safety industry.
The award acknowledges Ashley’s exceptional dedication to client care.
The EVAS are the UK’s largest business awards dedicated solely to women, honouring female-led businesses and entrepreneurs who demonstrate outstanding impact, creativity, and leadership.
Founded in 2011 by Coral Horn, the awards go beyond traditional metrics like turnover, instead spotlighting ethics, passion, resilience, and community contribution.
During the ceremony, the presenter praised Ashley’s rapid success and client-first ethos “In just three years, she’s built a private consultancy with an impressive 98% retention rate, with a fresh, positive approach to compliance.
"She goes the extra mile to make businesses feel protected - or as she calls it, the Bubblewrap around her clients. Her drive and customer-first ethos are setting new standards.”
This award means the world to Ashley and the HSE Advice team. Customer service is such a high priority in the organisation and to be recognised by the EVAS, alongside so many inspiring women in business, is an incredible honour.
Ashley extends her sincere thanks to every client and colleague who has supported her journey. This award recognises our teamwork and highlights our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe environment for everyone.
The EVAS are more than an awards programme – it is a platform for visibility, connection, and growth. With a mission to celebrate, connect, and elevate women in business.
