Kathy Edwards, the founder of Steppin’ Out Events, has been honoured with two awards for her events business. She won the Emerging Business category at the South East Business Awards and became a finalist in the Small & Succeeding category at the Frankston Business Collective Awards. Ms Edwards is the first business owner to achieve this double recognition.
Steppin’ Out Events aims to nurture connections among singles over 40, who want to make new friends or find romance. The organisation focuses on socialisation and creating a real connection between people, something that it thinks has been missing in the online platforms that are full of challenges and frustrations. She has been working with Jeff Rogut, a business adviser from Transcend in Frankston, to evaluate, grow and sustain her business with his expert guidance.
“It was a great honour to receive recognition for my dedication and achievements,” she said. “I love bringing singles who share similar interests together. I owe it to my members, who have supported my business and taken the initial courageous first step to join one of my events. Being a small business owner and an entrepreneur has its challenges, but it is also very rewarding.”
Ms Edwards loves to showcase the beauty of the Peninsula region. She holds regular events at Mount Eliza Country Club on the first Saturday of every month, and organises other events such as singles spark, ladies’ choice, wink & smile, dinners, speed friending, boat cruises, live music events and formal functions, taking care of everything from the live music and food to the venue and always supporting live music. “All you have to do is buy a ticket and have fun.”
