Surrey Chambers Business Women in Surrey (BWiS) revealed the top 10 women on its inaugural Top Businesswomen in Surrey List this week (10 March) at a special flagship event to celebrate International Womens Day.

The common theme from all was women should celebrate their achievements in the workplace much more and shout from the rooftops about their successes.
