Giftware designer and watercolour artist Meg Hawkins is going to have a nail-biting November! Founder or her eponymous company Meg Hawkins, she has been shortlisted as a finalist in two prestigious awards – in the Creator And Maker category at The Great British Businesswoman Awards, and in the Creative Businesswoman at the Great British Entrepreneur Awards – with the winners announced in November.
Both awards are in recognition of Meg’s business growth, outstanding creativity, and inspiring role as a leading female in business. “The giftware industry was hit hard over the past few years with covid, with so many small independents closing, so to have recognition for all we do as a small family business is truly amazing,” enthuses Meg. “The Creator and Maker category recognises its significance and its impact on the giftware industry.”
The Great British Entrepreneur Awards have become one of the most coveted accolades for entrepreneurs across the UK, celebrating the diverse entrepreneurial landscape. The awards ceremony takes place on 20 November at London’s Grosvenor House, where industry leaders, innovators, and influencers will gather to celebrate the achievements of the finalists.

The awards ceremony takes place on 22 November at Leonardo Royal Hotel in St Paul’s London.
