Glittering event celebrates business success while boosting vital charity

Inspirational achievers from Birmingham were among those celebrated at the sixth Ladies First Professional Development Network Business Awards. Four hundred people gathered at Dallas Burston Polo Club in Southam for the glittering ceremony. The evening also raised £8,000 for the Giles Trust Brain Tumour Fund, the charity established in 2015 by former England cricketer Ashley Giles and his wife Stine, which supports research, pioneering equipment and patients.
