COCO Women Founders Shortlisted for Best Community Award at Thames Valley Business & Community Awards!
We’re beyond excited to share the amazing news that COCO Women Founders has been shortlisted for the Best Community Award at this year’s Thames Valley Business & Community Awards! This recognition means so much to us and it wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible support of our member community.
Not only that, but Vicky White, Owner of COCO Women Founders and White Communications, has also been shortlisted for the Female Entrepreneur Award – another huge honour.
The Thames Valley Business & Community Awards celebrate outstanding organisations and individuals across the region who are making a real difference – driving innovation, inspiring others, and giving back to the community. We are absolutely thrilled to be recognised alongside some truly brilliant businesses and leaders from across the Thames Valley and have been told there were over 1,439 nominations this year.
“I am so incredibly honoured to be shortlisted for the Female Entrepreneur Award, and for COCO Women Founders to be recognised in the Best Community category at the Thames Valley Business & Community Awards.
This journey has been one full of passion, purpose, and above all, PEOPLE. COCO exists because of the amazing women in our community – founders, makers, thinkers, doers, who inspire me every single day.
To be acknowledged in this way is not just uplifting, it feels like a true celebration of all that we’ve built together. I am delighted, humbled, and so grateful for this recognition.”
What This Means for COCO Women Founders
Being shortlisted for these awards is more than just a trophy, it’s a sign that community-driven initiatives matter. At COCO, our mission has always been to support women entrepreneurs, provide meaningful connection, and create opportunities where every founder feels seen, heard, and empowered.
This shortlist validates the power of community and proves that when women come together to support each other, amazing things happen.
Since taking over COCO Women Founders in Jnauary 2025, Vicky has expanded groups into new locations, introduced 90-day goal setting sessions for additional support and accountability and most important of all, listened to what members need and value most.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey – our members, team, collaborators, and supporters. We couldn’t do any of this without you.
