I’m thrilled to be back as the Headline Photographer and Sponsor of the Maven Awards this year - last year was such a buzz. I’m Philippa and I’m a portrait and wedding photographer with 20 years experience and I can say, hands down that the best bit about my job is the taking natural photographs of people.

I’m Ellie and my partner in life and business, Dylan nominated me for a Maven Award in 2024. I was so happy and shocked as a new business to Winchester to be a Finalist in both Power House and Inspirational Maven of the Year Category. Since the awards I’ve started coworking out of Maven and I love the community, it’s given me the wings to take the step to become Freelance and I also love working on our Lìmon projects from Maven too.

This year Lìmon are Sponsoring Entertainment Act Robbie Culley, so excited to see him perform!

I’m Zoe, a Maven Award sponsor and Travel Counsellor.

Last year I sponsored the Power House Maven of the Year award. Such an important category to highlight women who so often don’t get seen as their roles might be behind the scenes.

I’m here to share my knowledge and experience with you so that you can enjoy the most amazing holidays and treasured memories. Maybe it’s a once-in-a-lifetime luxury tour or cruise, the perfect honeymoon, a stress-free family beach getaway, an eco-friendly retreat, ski trips, exciting city breaks, adventure travel or a holiday at home here in the UK, I can offer a tailor made service to create your bespoke holiday.

I’m Sharon! Sponsor of the Wellness and Fitness Maven Award for 2025 and proud winner of the category for 2024.

My mission and passion are to change the narrative around menopause and neurodiversity, while challenging the gender and societal biases that persist.
