National Award Recognition for Make An Entrance Director
Make An Entrance co-director Samantha Burlton is among the finalists for this year’s National Business Women’s Awards, making it the company’s third award nomination this year.
The awards are made up of 21 categories and Samantha is hoping to be recognised as the Northern England Business Woman of the Year at the ceremony next month.
“I am honoured to have been shortlisted and recognised alongside the likes of businesswomen from Total Fitness, Crest Nicholson and Systematics International,” said Sam.
“2019 has already been such a great year for our business; we opened our new Lincoln workshop and have taken on our first apprentices. It’s fantastic to be recognised for all the hard work that’s been put in to make the company a success – and I’m looking forward to celebrating at the event next month!”
The National Business Women’s Awards, now in their third year, honour business owners, leaders and inspirational businesswomen who have achieved significant accomplishments over the past 12 months.
The winners of this year’s awards will be announced at the Millennium Gloucester Hotel in London on Thursday 12th December.
This news follows the company’s double award nomination last month at the Lincolnshire Media Business Awards; Make An Entrance was shortlisted in the Small Lincolnshire Business of the Year category and Samantha was nominated for Business Person of the Year.

- The company stemmed from charitable roots, in the 1990’s Stuart’s father ran a workshop where traditional doormats were made by blind and partially sighted people, providing employment opportunities.
- Make An Entrance produces a range of mats, most of which are manufactured in the UK, including traditional handmade mats and contemporary or decorative entrance door mats and cut to size coir matting.
- The company’s product range has expanded and includes house signs, slate coasters, wooden name plates and other personalised gifts.
- The company’s Lincoln-based workshop opened in 2019. This workshop was created to train a new young workforce of apprentices in traditional doormat making. Hand stitching doormats is an age-old skill that the directors of Make An Entrance are determined to conserve for future generations.
