Angela received the Lifetime Achievement Award and was selected as the overall winner from 12 exceptional finalists out of 47 inspiring entries.

This award is a remarkable recognition of Angela’s decades of dedication, leadership, and impact, not just in the family business community but also in the education sector. Since co-founding Study Links in 1998, Angela has transformed the company into a global leader in international education support, helping thousands of students and families navigate their educational journeys in the UK.

Paul Andrews, Founder and CEO of Family Business United, which organises the awards, said, “Family firms are the backbone of the UK economy. They deserve all the recognition they can get for their contributions to employment, income generation, and charitable endeavours. These awards have crowned some incredible winners over the years, and Angela’s success is truly well-deserved.”

On receiving the award, Angela expressed her gratitude: “I’m truly humbled by this recognition. Leading Study Links has been a labour of love, and this award reflects the shared commitment of my family, team, partner schools, and the broader business community to positively impact the lives of young people.”
