Preston Entrepreneur Recieves #Wow Award From Jacqueline Gold CBE On August 6th, Karen Riley from Ashton, was recognised by British businesswoman, Jacqueline Gold CBE, for her success as a female entrepreneur, and awarded with a prestigious #WOW badge. Jacqueline Gold says: “Karen has had a passion for cooking her whole life, particularly when it came to using spices. This led to the creation of Crave Marinades a healthy low fat, low sugar, and plant based spice blend. Karen will be a great addition to the WOW community, and I can’t wait to try her marinade!” For me, #WOW is all about inspiring and celebrating female entrepreneurs. My vision is for women in the UK to come together, celebrate their strengths, skills and fantastic businesses, and do all that they can to inspire other women to realise their potential.
