Entrepreneur and mum of two, Rebecca Berry, founder of Berrykin Marketing, has been shortlisted for Female Entrepreneur of the Year in the prestigious UK Small Business Awards, less than a year after launching her business following a 15-year corporate career.
Rebecca’s entrepreneurial journey began after she experienced pregnancy and maternity discrimination in the workplace, a turning point that motivated her to take control of her career, redefine her future, and build something of her own. Determined to create a working life that respected both her skills and her role as a mother, she established Berrykin Marketing from scratch while raising two young children.
“In many ways, my business was born from a difficult experience,” said Rebecca Berry. “Facing pregnancy and maternity discrimination pushed me to back myself and build something on my own terms. To be recognised nationally, less than a year later, is incredibly meaningful. I’m proud to represent Worcestershire and to show other women that they can rewrite their story too.”
Drawing on her 15-year corporate background, Rebecca built Berrykin Marketing into a thriving business in under twelve months. As a freelance PR and Marketing specialist, she partners with brands and business leaders across the UK to build recognition, elevate reputation, and drive growth through strategic storytelling and integrated marketing.
The UK Small Business Awards celebrate entrepreneurs who demonstrate innovation, resilience, community impact, and business excellence. Known for their inclusive and supportive approach, the awards highlight every stage of the entrepreneurial journey, creating visibility for founders from all backgrounds.
Rebecca’s nomination recognises both her rapid business growth and her commitment to empowering others through her work and lived experience. For more information about Berrykin Marketing, visit Berrykinmarketing.co.uk
