Hepsie Goddin of Barnstaple has been crowned one of the UK’s most impressive female entrepreneurs by Small Business Britain’s ‘f:Entrepreneur #IAlso100’ campaign.

Hepsie Goddin, who founded martha and hepsie in 2011, is being profiled among 100 inspirational female entrepreneurs from across the country, as part of the campaign to celebrate the multi-achievements of women running businesses in the UK today.

The f:Entrepreneur ‘#IAlso100’ line-up particularly showcases trailblazing female founders who lead purpose-driven businesses alongside a roster of other responsibilities, such as volunteering, mentoring and community support.

Indeed, Hepsie was also called out for her work supporting successful individuals—primarily women—to build better businesses and lives that align with their values, focusing on profit and purpose.

On being featured in the #ialso100 lineup, Hepsie says: “I’m incredibly proud to be selected as part of the F:entrepreneur #iAlso100 campaign, it’s an amazing start to the year. The campaign celebrates female entrepreneurs and the new ways of working that women are creating to ensure success at a personal and work level. With over a decade of experience balancing the responsibilities and expectations of being a female business owner, I can’t wait to get involved!”.

Launched in 2017 by Small Business Britain – the leading champion of small businesses in the UK – the f:Entrepreneur campaign aims 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.

The campaign offers a host of events, training, and networking opportunities to boost skills, capability, and confidence.

“It’s wonderful to have Hepsie from martha and Hepsie Ltd feature in this year’s #IAlso100 – all of the female entrepreneurs in this year’s line-up are simply phenomenal,” said Michelle Ovens CBE, founder of Small Business Britain.

“It is vital that we recognise the impressive contribution of the UK’s female business owners and do all we can to support and encourage them throughout their entrepreneurial journey, from start-up to scale-up. As well as making a huge economic contribution to the UK, female entrepreneurs also create a wider positive impact that ripples across society and local communities.”
