The award has been presented in recognition of her role in driving Nirvana’s business success, and her part in pioneering alcohol-free craft brewing since 2016.

The 32-year-old represents a new breed of young, entrepreneurial women coming to the fore on the UK’s brewing scene. As well as driving the business into several new export markets, she has recently led the business through its first private investment round.

The judges were impressed with her determination and dedication in founding and running Nirvana. She was also earmarked as one of the most innovative and dynamic award winners from this year’s selection.

Becky said: “The alcohol-free craft brewing sector has made leaps and bounds in recent years, and it’s exciting to be recognised as a woman who’s part of this evolving brewing success story.

“It’s also an honour to be listed alongside 34 other incredible women who are making a real impact in their field of business.”

Kate Magee, editor of Management Today, added: “The UK is full of talented, visionary, inspiring businesswomen of all ages, working at every level and in all sectors. More often than not, their stories never get told. We’re proud to do our part in helping to remedy that.”
