Lindsay Woodward, Marketing Director at Lindsay Woodward Marketing, has been shortlisted for two awards in recognition of her work across both business and community initiatives.
Lindsay has been shortlisted for The Inspirational Individual – Community Person of the Year Award at the Coventry & Warwickshire Business and Community Awards. This recognition relates to her role in helping to develop the Rugby Literary Festival, a community focused event that completed its second year in 2025.
The festival brought together writers, readers, creatives and local businesses, helping to strengthen the town’s cultural life while creating opportunities for local authors to showcase their work.
Alongside this recognition, Lindsay has also been shortlisted as a finalist for a Woman Who Achieves Award 2026, a programme that celebrates women who are making a significant impact in business and their communities.
Lindsay runs Lindsay Woodward Marketing, a marketing strategy agency that works with growing businesses to help them develop clear marketing direction and sustainable growth. She is a Chartered Marketer and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, recognising over a decade of continued professional development and contribution to the marketing profession.
In addition to running her business, Lindsay is also an author and has played a leading role in helping to establish the Rugby Literary Festival, working with partners and sponsors to create an event that celebrates creativity and encourages wider participation in the arts.
Commenting on the recognitions, Lindsay said: “It’s been a brilliant start to the year. Over the past couple of years, I’ve felt passionate about supporting local businesses and the local community, and for that hard work to be recognised in this way means the world to me.
“The festival in particular is something I’m so proud of. Seeing writers, readers, businesses and families come together has been fantastic, and I’m grateful to everyone who has supported the event.”
The Coventry & Warwickshire Business and Community Awards will take place on 23rd April 2026 at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry, while winners for the Woman Who Achieves Awards 2026 will be announced at the ceremony on 8th May at the National Conference Centre in Solihull.
