Networker Helen takes top award


Tewkesbury-based businesswoman Helen Dowling has been named the region’s top networker in the 2010 Midlands Business of the Year Awards.

Helen is MD of Exceptional Thinking, a marketing consultancy which aims at the small business. She received the award from Martin Davies, of sponsors NRG at a gala event at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole.

Exceptional Thinking (http://www.exceptionalthinking.co.uk/) specialises in helping people with great business ideas get them to market. It runs a series of workshops around the region together with networking events.

This was the fourth year of the awards and more than 300 people attended the ceremony at the NEC Hilton Metropole Hotel. The guest of honour was Jerry Blackett, chief executive of Birmingham and Solihull Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Helen said: “We are delighted that Exceptional Thinking has had its efforts in this field recognised. Effective networking can be the key to finding outlets for business.”

Harj Sandher, MD of organisers UK Special Events, the company behind the event, said: “We had some excellent entries and are delighted that the event is growing in popularity and quality. The range of talent in the Midlands is huge and the entrepreneurial spirit is alive and kicking.”
