TWO North East businesswomen are through to the finals of the national Remote Worker Awards

Newcastle-based Sarah Sharp, established Familiesrecommend.co.uk, a review site for discerning families in the UK, has her sights on winning the Babyworld Parentpreneur Award, while Catherine Hymers, from Hebburn, hopes to take home her home-based franchise worth £15,000 in The Helen O’ Grady Special Award.

The Remote Worker Awards appealed to hundreds of entrants around the UK. Home workers, remote workers, freelance consultants, and wannabe entrepreneurs who dream of winning a new home-based franchise and internet business were invited to enter.

The North East duo will now compete against other finalists at the winning ceremony, which will be held at The Grand Connaught Rooms in London on September 1.
