Dawn Bates Nominated for Two Prestigious UK Businesswomen Awards

Dawn Bates International Ltd (DBI) is thrilled to announce that its Founder and Managing Director, Dawn Bates, has been shortlisted for two esteemed awards: the SME Role Model of the Year at the Great British Businesswomen’s Awards 2025 and the Social Impact award at the National Businesswomen’s Awards 2024.

These nominations not only celebrate Dawn’s achievements but also inspire those with challenging and controversial stories to share, particularly in an industry often criticized for its elitism and exclusivity.

DBI, established by Bates, serves as a beacon of literature and personal activism, dedicated to promoting positive change worldwide through advocacy and the transformative power of the written word.

“Dawn struggled to find a publisher willing to embrace her story and allow her voice to shine,” said Marketing Manager Henriette Howell.

The emphasis on diversity is evident, especially as Bates has just returned to the UK after an extensive journey, having immersed herself in 44 different countries and cultures. With a global team spanning Australia, South Africa, and the USA, DBI boasts cultural awareness like no other boutique publisher.

“Dawn can go fearlessly to its in-depth research, to the extent of entering some of the most dangerous places in the world to unfold the happenings. So, these award nominations come as no surprise,” Howell added.

The timing of these nominations is particularly fortuitous, as the second round of Bates’ signature 7 Week Author Course kicks off on November 1—just five days after the National Businesswomen’s Awards dinner in London.

This modular course allows for self-paced learning and is most effective when completed in one hour a day over seven weeks, fostering the momentum and habits crucial for a successful writing career.

When completed with the daily frequency of one hour each day for seven weeks, the modular cours can be most effective enabling self-paced learning. In a literary landscape where many authors struggle financially, this program aims to combat the “starving artist” stereotype.

Designed to enhance daily word count, overcome writer’s block, and cultivate an ideal writing environment, the course also covers business planning, award application strategies, and the environmental impact of publishing. Bates’s extensive experience as a single mother, international businesswoman, advocate, and author uniquely equips her to guide aspiring writers through the challenges they will encounter.
