Her work is opening doors to healthier, more empowered futures, and proving that recovery doesn’t have to be hidden.
Emma Key of Pawz Let Loose, Family Business Finalist - At Pawz Let Loose, dogs are more than pets - they’re family.

As a family-run business, Emma has built a trusted local brand that supports both animals and the people who love them.
Now in its 14th year, the Enterprise Vision Awards continue to celebrate women who are not just building businesses but shaping society through inclusive, impactful, and often deeply personal ventures. From health and family wellbeing to sustainability and social change, the EVAS recognise those who lead with heart and vision.
Cllr Lynn Williams, Leader of Blackpool Council, and sponsor of the Family Business Award, said “Blackpool Council is proud to sponsor the Family Business category at the EVAs, recognising the resilience, legacy and entrepreneurial spirit that family-run enterprises bring to our region. We are committed to supporting local businesses which is why we created the perfect home in The Robinson, a hub for growth and innovation.”
Finalists now progress to a panel interview, public vote, and an exclusive House of Commons reception, before the winners are revealed at a glittering ceremony in the iconic Winter Gardens, Blackpool on Friday 26 September.
