We’re delighted to share some exciting news from Sense Sensory.
Our founder and director, Vanessa, has been recognised at the Small Business Awards in the Female Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 category. She reached the finals and was awarded the prestigious title of Highly Recommended.
This is a meaningful milestone and reflects Vanessa’s dedication, passion and continued commitment to creating high-quality sensory resources that make a real difference for children, families, schools and therapeutic settings across the country.
Being selected as a finalist in such a competitive category is an achievement in itself. To then be named Highly Recommended places Vanessa among an exceptional group of female business leaders who are innovating, inspiring and making a genuine impact in their fields.
For Vanessa, this recognition isn’t only about business success. It represents the journey of building Sense Sensory from an idea into a trusted brand that supports learning, wellbeing, inclusion and development.
From thoughtfully designed products to carefully curated resources, everything we do reflects Vanessa’s belief in the value of sensory experiences and their power to help others.
While she narrowly missed out on the top spot, being Highly Recommended is something we’re incredibly proud of — and rightly so.
This achievement also belongs to everyone who has supported Sense Sensory along the way: our customers, partners, collaborators and the wider community who believe in sensory learning.
Here’s to celebrating this fantastic recognition, and to many more milestones ahead for Vanessa and the Sense Sensory team.
