A WOMAN from Goring won an award for her reviews website.
Angela Bryant started Angela Rated in 2019. The idea was to create a version of Tripadvisor to provide reviews of online skills and development courses.
She has since also created a website where women working from home can come together virtually to support each other.
She won the Product Creator of the Year award at the 2021 Digital Women Awards, held in London.
The judges selected her for her outstanding product as well as her ability to pivot her business and help others in response to the pandemic.
Ms Bryant, 48, who moved to Goring from Whitchurch with her husband in 2015, said: ‘I started an online business 10 years ago and realized there are many courses and systems online, but people have no way of knowing if they are good or if they are a scam, so I built an online system.
“Now I’m building it and getting independent reviews from members of the public. It continues to grow and we continue to add courses – there are just over 500 products on it now.
“Every day people add new reviews and come to the site to research courses.
“I hope as Angela Rated grows it helps more business owners cut the noise of the online space and reduces the risk of what is currently an unregulated industry.
“I also set up an online virtual coworking community called Cowork Crowd. People who run online businesses tend to work alone from home and they are mostly women. »
