Meet the Team

Andrea Thompson Events & Awards Manager

As a highly experienced Executive PA coordinating both office and personal lives for other people, Andrea decided to add a Degree in Wedding and Event Planning.

Having arranged many dinners, receptions, corporate days and events with passion, Andrea was lucky enough to be asked to help organise the Love GOSH Valentines Ball 3 years running and has been the event manager of the Business Champion Awards since their founding in 2022.

Andrea is so excited that she has been asked once again to add a little professional flair and some humour in creating another spectacular evening for these auspicious awards.

Andrea finds it very rewarding arranging for other people to be recognised as a Business Champion – people make events into stories and stories give events meaning.

‘There’s a wealth of extraordinary talent across the UK and it’s time that every hardworking business owner received some recognition in some way for continuing to adapt and conquer and push their business forwards through the challenging times that we’ve seen during the past year.

‘Everyone’s story is unique, and when shared, can inspire others in unpredictable ways.

I’m on a mission to make it easier than ever before for entrants to share and maximise their stories with fellow entrepreneurs and sponsors.’
