There is one week left to vote for the city's best businesswomen.

The NatWest Venus Awards recognise the efforts and talents of local businesswomen and are split into eleven individual categories.

The awards were created to give credit to women in business who can sometimes be undervalued.

The categories, which are sponsored by local firms, are Business Mother of the Year, Employee of the Year, Small Business of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Lifetime Achievement, Business Woman of the Future, Inspirational Woman of the Year, Home-based Woman of the Year, New Business of the Year and Employer of the Year.

The winners will be announced an awards ceremony at Hilton Brighton Metropole on September 27. Tickets can be purchased at the Venus Awards website.

Nominations close on Friday. To vote, visit brighton.venusawards.co.uk
