On the first day of voting I secured a thumbs up, vote and Re-tweet from Claire Young, finalist in The Apprentice 2008. Claire says ‘supporting enterprise in the UK is something important to me and my work, so its great to see a young mum such as Joanne strive forward and inspire others. She certainly gets my vote!’

On Saturday I was thrilled and excited to see a tweet stating ’Joanne Dewbury calling for votes for Top Dorset Businesswoman for @CharlieMoos http://bit.ly/9w0gys ’ from none other than Sarah Brown AKA Mrs Prime Minister herself. I was immensely overwhelmed I must admit! I knew Mrs Brown was following me but I never imagined she would actually read my dribble! I sat for at least 10 minutes mesmerised it was when other tweets started pouring in and text messages that I realised just who had written it. My initial thought was she spelt my name wrong! I feel so honoured as I know that Mrs Brown is and advocate for women, especially mums with the campaigns such as million mums.
