Life Changing Competition Gives Away £15K Home Business

Life Changing Competition Gives Away £15K Home Business


The Remote Worker Awards, in association with BT Business, and Helen O’ Grady Drama Academy are giving away a home based business worth £15k!

The Helen O’ Grady Special Award is the flagship Award in The Remote Worker Awards, which aims to raise awareness for remote and home working as the modern way of working.

This 'life changing' competition is open to everyone and so easy to win! Entrants with an interest or an enthusiasm for social interaction and communication with young people have to show how they would combine their love of drama or their experience of teaching children. The best entries will be in the running to win a successful full time business run from their home office.

The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy’s affordable international drama program is already delivered weekly to almost 13,000 children in the UK alone and to many more in twenty five other countries worldwide.

Schools recognise the value of the lessons in increasing children’s confidence, self esteem and skill in verbal communication – vital in the world of technology we live in today. Next term, Helen O’ Grady is introducing both pre-school and adult classes with specially written, age-appropriate curriculum.


MP John Bercow, following his review of the provision for children’s language development in schools said in August 2008: “The ability to communicate is an essential life skill for all children and young people in the 21st century. It is at the core of all social interaction. With strong communication skills, children can engage and thrive. Without them children will struggle to learn, achieve, make friends and interact with the world around them.”

They will also receive comprehensive initial training, regular ongoing support and reassuring financial advice. All for answering a three easy questions and showing why they should win this extraordinary Award.

Office Jobs Go Down The Tube

As commuters across the country get that ‘underground feeling’ and plan alternate routes to work with the news that another tube strike will disrupt transport to work tomorrow, remote workers and home workers will take the liberty of an extra lie in bed.

They won’t be stressed to get early trains or get into the fast lane of traffic congestion. Instead, they will amble into their home office, switch on their PC and prepare for another day at the office, without commuting interruption, for they are the ‘Home Working Nation'.

With 3.5 million Brits across the UK now working from home and many more millions working remotely, isn’t it about time this way of working became an even more every day work practise?

Thousands of commuters from the South East, the highest proportion of commuters, will spend the equivalent of an additional working day diverting around London in order to avoid the chaos. The region presents the greatest opportunity for the largest number of people to benefit from the introduction of new smarter working practices.

Ken Sheridan, an advocate of remote working and Director of Remote Employment, said (wearing bright pink pyjamas): “More tube strikes will illustrate the opportunity for productive working away from the office. More and more companies are getting in on the remote working action!”

Remote Employment, an online web service dedicated to connecting employers with job seekers who work remotely or work from home, has seen substantial expansion to their business and believes that the wider adoption of smarter working practices, such as flexible working, working from home, mobile and remote working will improve business productivity and reduce transport congestion, especially during tube strikes!

Working from home significantly improves efficiency, enabling businesses to be more competitive. BT are leaders in their flexible working policies and now have more than 70,000 flexible workers, with seven out of 10 people working flexibly and nearly 10% home based.

Remote Employment recently launched The Remote Worker Awards in association with BT Business, to highlight how remote working benefits business mobility, and they are offering life changing prizes such as a home based franchise worth £15k, an Open University study grant and five business start up kits. Along with this they are celebrating companies who are proud of their remote working practises in the Remote Employer Award.

National Call for Home Business Pioneers

Remote Employment and BT Business are on a national hunt to find the most innovative business that demonstrates how remote working and home working has made a beneficial impact on their business and home life for The BT Home Business Award.
The Remote Worker Awards, in association with BT Business, aims to highlight how home working increases business mobilisation.

The Award has already appealed to hundreds of small budding enterprisers as well as larger home based businesses across the country, and now Remote Employment would like to reach out to anyone who hasn’t already entered the awards.

Remote Employment, a job site specialising in remote working and home working positions, has put together a ‘perfect package’ of beneficial business support products and services which includes IT, HR, PR, Legal and marketing advice.

Paula Wynne, organiser of the Awards said: “Many of these services are out of the reach of small businesses as there are always other priorities. Small budgets don’t stretch far, so we have an impressive range of resources that would be extremely beneficial to any small business!”

If you are one of inventive pioneers who champion home working and can show the UK how your work life has benefited from running a home office, the Remote Worker Awards would like to hear from you and give you the chance to win one of the £50k prizes!

The Remote Worker Awards has nine different award categories, including The Remote Employer Award - to celebrate forward thinking employers who allow flexible, remote or home working solutions - all with a selection of the UK’s top sponsors, including BT Business.

Businesswoman Wins Another Award

Last Thursday ten business women and ten of the UK’s leading businesswomen joined in the celebration when the winner of the FreshIdeas Events Mentor Competition was announced at a ceremony hosted by HSBC in London.

Karen Darby and Paula Wynne were stunned to find out that they had been chosen as the most successful mentoring couple from the very strong group of contestants, all of whom who had successful partnerships with their mentors.

Karen Darby, CEO of Call Britannia and Paula Wynne, co-founder of Remote Employment and the Remote Worker Awards, and Jackie Brennan, Director of FreshIdeas Events and organiser of the Mentor Competition, are available to share their mentoring experience with the millions of small business owners across the UK.

The eager entrepreneurs who entered the competition six months ago, have been mentored by the ‘cream’ of the UK’s entrepreneurial business women, fondly known as the MAD 'Make A Difference' Woman.

Karen Darby, founder of SimplySwitch, Karen Hanton of tobtable.co.uk and Jo Haigh, Author and Head of Corporate Finance of MGR who has bought and sold over 300 companies in the last 20 years, and Polly Gowers, Founder of Everyclick.com, a search engine that gives half of its revenue to charity, shared their experience with the large audience.

From the 10 businesswomen mentees, Paula impressed the judges with her passion and enthusiasm to succeed and for the innovative Remote Employment concept. Paula is Director and Co-founder of Remote Employment, an online web service dedicated to connecting employers with job seekers who work remotely or work from home, and has seen substantial expansion to her business with Karen’s help and guidance.

Paula said: “I am thrilled to win this prestigious award! I feel so privileged to have been a part of this competition. Working with Karen has been an incredible experience for me and my business!”

Karen Darby kicked off the evening with a talk about mentoring and how it can help a business grow. She finished by saying that she enjoyed learning from Paula’s experiences and because it was such a ‘buzz’ she was now mentoring other business owners.

The successful mentoring 'couple' shared their journey with delightful stories of Karen fishing frogs out of her garden pond to add intrigue to Paula’s stand at an Olympia exhibition, and Paula wearing brightly coloured guest slippers while Karen served chocolate crepes and vanilla ice cream during their meetings at Karen’s home.

Along with lots of fun and laughter, the audience also heard about inspirational moments, determination, business ‘savvy’ and revenue growth. After meetings with Karen and her whirlwind of lateral thinking, Paula invariably dashed off firing all guns, buttons, and cylinders to create new marketplace activities.

One of the initiatives Karen and Paula have worked on is launching The Remote Worker Awards, which highlights how remote working benefits business mobility, and if offering life changing prizes such as a home based franchise worth £15k, an Open University study grant and five business start up kits.

During the evening incredible stories emerged about how this mentoring experience has not only changed the Mentee’s businesses, but also changed the way the experienced and gifted Mentors do business.

Paula and Karen were presented with prizes from HSBC and Business Link in London, who have supported the innovative competition.

Speaking at the awards ceremony, Fran Currie, Chief Operating Officer at Business Link in London congratulated the participants on their achievements. She said: “Congratulations to all of the participants for their hard work and perseverance. These women learned from the best in the fields and I am highly impressed with the quality of all the entrepreneurs.”

Pointing to recent research conducted by Business Link in London, Ms Currie said that many women entrepreneurs continue to face barriers to developing and growing their business. “Business Link in London was delighted to support this worthwhile programme. It is vital in the current climate that London’s women entrepreneurs are encouraged by other established businesses and organisations to develop and succeed in their own business ventures.”

Jackie Brennan, Director of FreshIdeas Events said: “The awards evening is a fitting celebration of the entrepreneurs’ achievements. We are pleased to have matched such bright entrepreneurs with some of London’s leading businesswomen. This scheme has required hard work from all of these women, and the positive outcome from this mentoring programme is extremely promising for the UK’s small business community.”

Along with her daily business, Paula is a SEEDA Women's Enterprise Ambassador and talks to women around the UK about the exciting new remote working culture. Her personal experience and proof of her determination and persistence is inspirational. Paula’s passion and enthusiasm for knowledge, new experiences, and business focus motivates other women’s belief in their business and renews their confidence.

Remote Worker Awards Highlighted At Launch of SHEplc

A group of enterprising business women gathered at one of Berkshire’s premier hotels on the 1st of May to join in the re-launch of SHEplc, a dynamic network of businesswomen.

Mary Flavelle, founder of SHEplc, formed SHEplc in 2005,when she worked at the Chamber of Commerce. Hundreds of ladies have attended over the years and many have gone on to fantastic heights with their businesses, yet when Mary left the Chamber nearly three years ago the networking eventually events faded.

Mary’s belief and faith that one day she would own SHEplc came to pass when the Chamber handed it back to her with their blessing. Mary’s first guest speaker to launch the new and very exciting SHEplc, was Paula Wynne, founder of Remote Employment, Remote Employment, a job site specialising in flexible, remote and home working.

Paula was introduced as an Entrepreneur, Internet Female Hero, SEEDA Woman’s Ambassador, Businesswomen, Mum, Freelancer, Writer and PR Hound Dog!

Paula shared her journey of setting up Remote Employment soon after a shoulder operation left her with a dislocated collarbone and subsequent operations to reconstruct her shoulder with metal plates. Consumed with pain and discomfort as well as suffering from sleepless nights, Paula’s determination and persistence to succeed pulled her through.

During this very difficult time, Paula’s passion for the concept of remote working and home working launched the online website with lots of attention and Paula’s infectious enthusiasm has seen the company receive two business awards in a short space of time.

Paula invited all of Mary’s guests to enter The Remote Worker Awards, which aims to raise awareness for remote and home working as an alternative solution to redundancy and the traditional nine to five office routine.

The awards has nine different categories and award winners will walk away with a prestigious trophy and will enjoy up to £50k in prizes, including a Penthouse Garden Office worth £10k, a Home Based Franchise worth £15k, interior design, business starter kits, a mobile laptop and a fabulous luxury weekend at a von Essen Hotel.

Paula is used to talking to groups of women about being a PR Hound for their business along with other topics on marketing and business advice, and many of the SHEplc guests found her recent experience inspiring.

One such guest, Christine Chalklin, Astrologer and Life Coach, later thanked Paula for giving her business journey a ‘personal touch’. Christine has the fascinating task of giving chart readings to businesses who want a celestial map for navigating their business path.

Mary’s guests included Tessa Harris, editor of Berkshire Life, Carla Delaney, Editor of Business Monthly and Debra Aspinall, Editor of Vive Magazine. Mary said: “It was very exciting and exhilarating to launch my dream for SHEplc at Cliveden House. We had a wonderful group of ladies who enjoyed every minute of networking and sharing their business success with each other. We want to see more ladies joining us every month and share in the SHE experience!”
