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 love meeting new people, making a connection and capturing the truly authentic and real personalities of all those I have the pleasure of working with. See you there!

Last year I sponsored The Creative Maven of the Year Award and this year I’m thrilled to be back sponsoring an Entertainment act - I simply couldn’t not be a part of The Mavens! I’m Sarah, a personal stylist helping you to dress up, show up and be confident. I love helping with style dilemmas - from choosing daywear, or an outfit for a special event to re-purposing pre-loved clothes. I can’t wait to see all of your outfits at the awards!

I’m Delphine and I’m truly passionate about connecting and community which is why I’ve chosen to Sponsor the Community Maven of the Year award. Of French and Canadian nationalities, I’ve lived most of my life in the UK while maintaining strong ties to France through education, work and holidays. Fully bilingual in French and English I’ve taught both languages for over 20 years under the Delcantell umbrella, earning my TEFL (2002) and PTLLS Certificate (2009). I’ve love to welcome you to a class.

As the only specialist clinic dedicated to brows in Winchester, we offer industry approved treatments that suit a multitude of cosmetic concerns and circumstance. I attended the Maven Awards last year as a finalist in two categories Client Care & Business Maven of the Year and I was thrilled to win the Client Care award as the Customer Service and Care is so important to me. This year I’m back to Sponsor the Client Care Maven award and I can’t wait to see the nominations come through.

As an OG Maven, I’ve loved following The Maven Awards so I feel very energised to be Sponsoring the Rising Maven of the Year award which focuses on those starting new businesses, taking new steps, maybe studying something new, taking on an apprenticeship or just pivoting their existing business to be something else. Whatever way you are Rising in this world of Female Entrepreneurship, I’m here for you and I’ll look forward to seeing all the nominations.

I’m Ellie and my partner in life and business, Dylan nominated 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.
