A MUM-OF-TWO whose business aims to raise awareness of the issues our planet faces has reached the final of the Merseyside Women of the Year Award.
Jennifer Greenan, from Haresfinch, is one of 18 inspirational businesswomen making a difference in Merseyside that have been named as finalists in the annual awards.
Jennifer, 38, is a co-founder and Director of E-Verve Energy Ltd, based in Lea Green, and founder and trustee of the Electric Futures Charity Trust, which aims to raise awareness of issues our planet faces today with tomorrow’s generation.
Jennifer said: “To be nominated is very overwhelming and reaching the final is very humbling to be honest.
“We started just before lockdown, and we are now one of the UK’s leading electric car ventures providing devices and charge points for electric vehicles.
“It was something we felt passionately about and after launching – and being a mum during the pandemic with home schooling and everything – I realised, like we all did, that children need inspiring to look after what we have and how they can do that.
“On the back of that we have been working in 24 schools across St Helens to raise aspriations of all children in STEM and inform them about the importance of green energy.
“Awards like this are really important because it gives young girls people to look to in fields of technology and science or any sector and see that they can do it too.
“I’m very proud to be shortlisted and look forward to seeing what the result it.”
The awards return to the Crowne Plaza in Liverpool City Centre on Friday, July 1, following a two-year hiatus.
The pandemic meant that the awards missed its official 10th anniversary year in 2020, but excitement is now ramping up for what Founding Director and inaugural ‘Woman of the Year’, Ellie Kerr, is affectionately calling the awards “Twelvety Tenth” anniversary ceremony.
Ellie said: “It might officially be MWOTY’s twelfth year, but we’re determined to make up for lost time in celebrating our milestone tenth anniversary - and what a line-up of truly fantastic finalists we have to help us do that.”
