The region-wide competition takes place annually to find deserving female business leaders and entrepreneurs and one of those contenders is local woman, Rachel Ducker of Halesworth.

23-year-old Rachel has been nominated for this year’s ‘young businesswoman of the year’ sponsored by Adnams plc, after only seven months into the launch of Rachel’s first business ‘Apparition Marketing and Design,’ located in Halesworth and Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Rachel said: “I am delighted to be one of the finalists for this award. It is a wonderful compliment to be recognised so early on within my business and gives me great encouragement for my future.”

Her business, Apparition Marketing and Design, is a creative agency that helps businesses with marketing, PR, website and design solutions, with client businesses of all sizes from various sectors.

The results are to be released in February at the EEBW awards dinner. Until then Rachel will be doing what she does best and helping her clients grow their businesses through the power of creativity.

Good Luck Rachel - WVB
