The CBN Young Businesswoman of the Year at Young Enterprise 2006
 As part of the Cambridgeshire Young Enterprise programme, CBN once again sponsored this year’s Young Businesswoman of the Year. CBN judges Dee Hutley and Diane Winkleby interviewed five impressive finalists and eventually gave the award to Elen Wales, Managing Director of Young Enterprise company Oodles. Elen received the CBN bowl and a cheque for £50 from Elizabeth Ingle, CBN Chairman. Oodles cleaned up at the county finals, taking Best Company, Best Marketing and Sales, Best Use of Technology and Best Trade Stand, and Elen also won the Best Entrepreneur Award, so CBN definitely picked a winner!
