Nottingham businesswoman named young Business Woman of the Year

The award recognises exceptional achievement by a female entrepreneur under 35 who has demonstrated strong business growth, leadership, and impact within their industry.

Jade, 28, was born and raised in Arnold, Nottingham. She attended Redhill Academy before moving on to High Pavement College. After leaving education, she began her career through a digital marketing apprenticeship, a move that sparked her passion for the industry and laid the foundations for what would eventually become her own agency.

In 2022, Jade launched Clever Clicks from her kitchen table, with no external investment and a determination to do things differently. What began as a freelance operation quickly grew into a thriving agency, now serving clients across the UK and beyond in SEO, PPC, social media, digital strategy, and more.

“This award means the world,” Jade said. “Starting a business while raising a young family wasn’t easy, but I wanted to prove that you don’t have to choose between growing a business and being a hands-on mum. Recognition like this shows that we’re on the right track, and that women-led businesses can thrive in digital spaces.”

The last 12 months have marked a major growth phase for Clever Clicks. After winning the regional award earlier this year, Jade brought on a growth consultant, restructured internal processes, and doubled down on team development. The agency has since expanded its client base, team size, and service offering, with more big plans on the horizon.

Jade is also a passionate advocate for women’s progression in the workplace and is committed to giving back to the local community. Clever Clicks has proudly sponsored a local Under 11s football team, as well as the Nottingham Panthers Assistant Coach during the 2024/25 season. The agency is actively looking to make an impact and support causes that genuinely resonate with its team and values.

The Clever Clicks team is made up of digital specialists based across the UK, in line with their remote working policy. The company champions a culture of trust, creativity, and continuous learning, something Jade says was missing from traditional agency environments she worked in previously.

“We’ve created something we’re all proud of,” Jade said. “This award isn’t just mine, it’s a team win.”

Clever Clicks continues to grow, with a focus on delivering results-driven marketing for businesses that want to scale with confidence.
