The Scholarships are being provided by the Jennifer d'Abo Scholarship Foundation which exists to help women entrepreneurs access top quality management development.
Jennifer d'Abo was a prolific entrepreneur in the 1980s and 1990s, best known for transforming the stationary company Ryman from an unprofitable chain into a business which was sold for £20 million in 1987.
Her son Joel Cadbury has helped to create the scholarship scheme to support women displaying his mother’s skills, talent and enthusiasm to achieve as much as she did.
The Business Growth and Development Programme has run every year since 1988, making it the UK’s most successful and longest-running programme for ambitious owner-managers. During that time, BGP has helped nearly 1,000 owner managers to achieve their business and personal ambitions.
Firms that have taken part in BGP form a roll-call of Britain’s most dynamic owner-managed businesses. Brands such as Cobra Beer and Hotel Chocolat have achieved national prominence and founders such as Karan Bilimoria, the creator of Cobra Beer, acknowledge the importance of BGP in helping them on the path to success.
