India Marshall-Roads, has been named as one of the UK’s most inspirational and dynamic female entrepreneurs by the f:Entrepreneur ‘#ialso100’ campaign.
India who founded Bottle Bazaar in 2013, is being profiled alongside 100 female entrepreneurs from across the country, as part of the campaign to celebrate the multi-achievements of women running businesses in the UK today.
Bottle Bazaar, based in Biggleswade, creates personalised labelled wine, alongside their luxury yet inclusive online wine club.
India discovered her passion for wine after leaving university, and she is enthusiastic to share her knowledge with others in a way that is accessible and mindful, focusing on quality beverages and experiences, rather than the damaging ‘booze culture’ we often see in the media.
Alongside her entrepreneurship, India advocates fiercely for mental health.
The f:Entrepreneur campaign was launched in 2017 to raise greater awareness of the impact of incredible female business owners across the country, and help provide inspiration and role models to the wider small business community.
Delivered by Small Business Britain – the leading champion of small businesses in the UK – the campaign offers a host of events, training, and networking opportunities to boost skills, capability, and confidence.
The f:Entrepreneur ‘#ialso100’ line-up particularly sets out to showcase trailblazing female founders who lead purpose-driven businesses alongside a roster of other responsibilities, such as volunteering, mentoring and community support.
On being featured in the #ialso100 lineup, India said: “I feel honoured to be recognised on the #ialso list of talented and inspiring women. I’m very much looking forward to meeting them all. This award has been a real boost to myself and my business and I’m excited for a great 2023.
“Since making the list, I’ve also accepted an exciting position with CHUMS Charity, a children’s mental health charity in Bedfordshire, which will allow me to explore my passion for raising awareness of the challenges faced by children and young people as they struggle with their mental health.
“I am very excited to support CHUMS Charity’s fundraising efforts and feel it is a worthy addition to my #ialso life.”
