World Number One Coach up for National Award

Hull businesswoman and World Number one business coach Pam Featherstone has been named a finalist in the NatWest Encouraging Women into Franchising Awards (EWIF) 2015, designed to bring together the best women in the industry and to celebrate their successes.

Pam, who has been running thriving businesses for over 30 years, began her ActionCOACH franchise three years ago and has seen overwhelming success not only for her clients but for herself.

In her first year as an ActionCoach Pam won Best Clients Results for Yorkshire and Lincolnshire 2013. She was named North UK Coach of the Year 2014, Rookie Coach of the Year 2014 in last year’s ActionCOACH EMEA awards (Europe, Middle East and Africa), giving her international recognition, before becoming UK Number one coach in October 2014.

This year she became ActionCOACH’s top performing coach, which is saying something when you consider that ActionCOACH operates in 57 countries around the world. Then just last month, she added 3 more awards to her list of accolades - North UK Coach of the Year 2015, Most Improved Coach of the Year 2015 and Coach of the Year EMEA 2015.

Pam Featherstone, who is a finalist in the Woman Franchisee of the Year 2015 category, says:

“What an honour to reach the final of these prestigious awards. I started my ActionCOACH franchise because I wanted to pass on everything I have learned over the years to other business owners, to help them make more profit, improve their work/life balance and get great results from their team.

“My clients are the real stars. They take on board that anything is possible if you simply focus on what you want and plan how you are going to achieve it.”

Sally Anne Butters, National Co-chair of EWIF, congratulated all the finalists:

“The judges had a tough decision to make this year especially with a record number of entries! We’re looking forward to seeing all our finalists at the awards ceremony and celebrating the hard work and effort that they have put into both their businesses and encouraging women into franchising over the last year.”

The winners of the awards will be announced at a special awards ceremony on Tuesday 12th May at RBS/NatWest Building, 280 Bishopsgate in London.
