Wrendale’s Hannah Dale honoured at NatWest Everywoman awards

Hannah Dale, the founder and creative director of Wrendale Designs has won a prestigious NatWest everywoman Award in recognition of her inspirational entrepreneurial talents.

At an awards ceremony which took place on 7 December 7 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, Hannah was delighted to receive the Athena Award, given to the most inspirational woman running a business that has been trading from six to nine years.

Hannah was one of 19 inspirational women, selected from several thousand nominees, to receive an award, with celebrated Paralympian Kadeena Cox and respected fashion entrepreneur Anya Hindmarch CBE among the other winners.

Hannah started Wrendale Designs nine years ago as a greeting card company based on her own watercolour painting of the natural world, but has blossomed both through expanding its own product portfolio as well as through licensing, notably with Portmeirion on the tableware front. Since its inception Wrendale has grown to become an international brand with an £8 million annual turnover.

Commenting on her award, Hannah told sister title PG Buzz: “I was totally delighted when my name was called out, I had met lots of the finalists throughout the day and they were all absolutely amazing and inspirational women so it felt like a huge privilege to win the award.  I couldn’t wait to share the award with the whole of my Wrendale family – I haven’t done it alone and am so lucky to have such a brilliant team.”
