Surrey Chambers Business Women in Surrey (BWiS) is calling for nominations for its inaugural 2015 Top Businesswomen in Surrey List.

Introduced to highlight the impressive and varied talent prevalent in businesswomen across the county, those on the list are nominated and voted for by friends, family and colleagues.

Nominations are now open, and Surrey business people are invited to publicly thank and promote the women they feel have made a significant and worthwhile contribution to their local business community.

Louise Punter, chief executive, Surrey Chambers of Commerce, said: "We want to celebrate everything good that is happening across the Surrey business world, thanks to the businesswomen of today, so we're reaching out to you to nominate those you believe deserve recognition for all that they do."

Success can be defined in a multitude of ways, so nominations from all walks of life are welcome. From young entrepreneurs to mentors and business owners, innovative and forward-thinking staff, and those who relentlessly give back to the community.

Names already on the list include: Sue Biggs, director general, Royal Horticultural Society; Helen Collins, detective chief superintendent, Surrey Police; best-selling author Adele Parkes; and editor of Surrey Life magazine, Caroline Harrap.

Once all the names are in, voting will begin on 1 February 2015 to create the final inaugural BWiS 2015 Top Businesswomen in Surrey List, which will be announced in full in March at the annual BWiS flagship event in celebration of International Women's Day.
