Shropshire business woman and founder of Elite Hampers Jeevan Punj is celebrating after winning a Woman Who Achieves Award. The awards recognise and celebrate the achievements of women in business.
Jeevan attended a day full of inspirational talks and celebrations at the awards ceremony held at the historic Coombe Abbey in Warwickshire and was blown away when she was announced a winner!
Founder of Woman Who Sandra Garlick said: “Jeevan’s mission is simply to make people happy. She deserves the recognition for her achievements to date and is a great role model to inspire others”.
Elite Hampers is a corporate gifting business that Jeevan created to recognise and appreciate those that make businesses work. Jeevan is in fact a Shropshire optician who launched the business in 2021 and has been working relentlessly to perfect every aspect of her business.
She said: “Winning a Woman Who Achieves Award is an incredible honour and a wonderful way to be recognised as a new woman in business. I couldn’t believe my name was called out. As I walked onto the stage to receive my award I was blown away by the cheering in the crowd, everyone in the room celebrated with me. It was beautiful”.
In 2023, Elite Hampers won two LUXlife Magazine awards and were winners of Small Business Sunday, a weekly initiative set up by former Dragons' Den star Theo Paphitis. Jeevan met Theo earlier this year to celebrate her win and said, “I have had a brilliant start to 2024 and can’t wait to see what else is to come.”.
Jeevan is currently enjoying her win and will continue to spread the message of appreciation amongst local and nationwide businesses through her luxurious hampers.
