Kelvin Fletcher's 2020 TROPHY TOUR
Actor Kelvin Fletcher brought smiles to award winners’ faces when he personally delivered trophies to them in a whistle-stop tour of the North West. The University of Bolton ambassador, who hosted the 2020 SHE INSPIRES Awards ceremony virtually because of the pandemic, finally got the chance to hand over the impressive trophies. Kelvin said...
“It has been a fantastic day and a lovely thing to do and it needed to be done. Under normal circumstances on the night I would have been meeting the winners face to face and hugging them as I gave them their trophies.That obviously wasn’t possible because of the pandemic, so this was the next best thing and the least we could do to recognise these amazing women.”
Our Winners at a Glance! Women who are not afraid to make decisions, not afraid to make mistakes, have transformed solitary fantasy into reality, who define success on their own terms and achieve it by their own rules and continue to shape the world through their leadership!
