Winner of BPA Concept and Innovation Awards 2009 named Leading Woman with Outstanding New Product
Published:  08 April, 2010

Claire Mitchell won the National Women on Their Way Outstanding New Product Award at the awards ceremony at Aston Villa Football Club on Friday 19th March 2010 for her product Chillipeeps, which was the winner of the BPA Concept and Innovation Awards in 2009.


Claire’s Chillipeeps range includes a teat in a pod that is pre-sterilised ready for first use and can be directly attached to a ready-made baby formula milk carton which was inspired by a ‘Eureka’ moment for Claire. 

 

In February, Claire was a runner-up in the Venturefest Yorkshire Investment Competition and she was chosen to attend a ministerial round-table discussion with Lord Davies, Minister of Trade, Investment and Small Business.

 

“Any new business needs to gain credibility, by proving products, services and the people. Our products are Award Winning and now I am absolutely thrilled to have been given this Women on Their Way Award, I know the award will helping us in our quest to secure funding to manufacture in Yorkshire. I hope my award will inspire others, especially women to dare to dream and go into business” said Claire. 

 

The Women on Their Way Awards is the brainchild of former Apprentice candidate Jo Cameron and her co-director Lisa Ibbotson.  Jo said:  “There are so many amazing women in the UK who don’t always recognise the impact they have made.”

 

The BPA would like to congratulate Claire on this achievement and remind anyone with a nursery product that is unique or unique in application that the BPA Concept and Innovation Awards 2010 are open for entries until 2nd July 2010.
