Breda Murphy, managing director of Breda Murphy Restaurant said: "It was a pleasure to be invited to be part of this event and meet so many inspiring women. 2023 will see us build on our B2B model which is already attracting interest from delis, farm shops and garden centres looking to stock our restaurant-quality ready meals. Thanks to Helene and Nigel a spotlight has been shone on our achievements and made valuable introductions helping us to continue to strengthen our business for success into the future.”

Helene Martin Gee, Savvitas founder & MP HERoes creator, says: “Thanks to our partnership with NatWest, MP HERoes is shining a spotlight on brilliant women business owners throughout the country. I’m delighted to meet so many successful female founders from every sector and from every part of the UK, championed by MPs of all parties.”
