She felt compelled to take control of her own future following a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Since then, she has broken barriers – excelling as a female entrepreneur in the male-dominated kitchen renovation industry while also learning how to navigate her diagnosis. Her dedication and achievements have now been recognised on a national scale as she has been shortlisted for ‘New Woman Franchisee of the Year’ at the Encouraging Women into Franchising awards (EWiF) for 2024. “To be recognised for succeeding in my solo venture into entrepreneurship amongst so many successful businesswomen is really empowering.
It feels great to be able to demonstrate how overcoming my personal challenges has led to such positive impacts for me, my family and my community,” said Lucy.
