Having previously scooped the IOD-run, East of England Businesswoman of the Year, Enterprise Award and the Anglian Business Awards 2005, Business Personality of the Year, Jan has just been announced as a finalist in the Businesswoman of the Year category for the Cambridge Evening News Business Excellence Awards.

Having successfully got through the first two stages of judging last month, Jan and her Haverhill-based contemporary furniture business impressed the judges sufficiently to be through to the last round and one of just four final candidates. The remaining challenge for the finalists is a presentation to the panel of judges, before the judges make their decision. The winners will be announced at a glittering, gala dinner at King’s College on Thursday, 23rd March.

Meanwhile, Jan Cavelle and details of her business success in 2005 will soon be posted on the Cambridge Evening News website along with the other finalists (http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/business/awards/excellence/).
