Featured in Yorkshire Businesswoman, alongside a long list of the people who made it possible. The office is small, the team is not.

A publicist who finds self-promotion difficult. Networking still feels like the school playground, and nobody hands out a manual.

A thank you for the year, and a look round the kitchen table at the family behind the business.

A friend's Christmas card names the values the business runs on. Trust, respect, loyalty and support, in that order.

A content workshop in a photography studio, and a day out of the office. Creativity refuelled, with a new outfit to show for it.

A personal tribute to Tilly, the companion who joined the client calls. Working from home is a good deal quieter without her.

The news of the Queen's death arrives not in a newsroom but at home, with a child's question. A reflection on a whole generation.

Affirmation cards from a Women in Business event in Huddersfield. One was chosen for the days it might be needed.

New photographs for a business listing, taken by John Steel. A career spent behind the camera makes for an awkward subject.

Two hundred women at the John Smith's Stadium, each with a story of their own. The bravest were told from the stage.

An introduction from the other side of the camera. A local newspaper journalist and police communications officer, now telling other people's business stories.
